This comprehensive introduction to the essentials of radiology is designed to enable readers to excel at ordering the appropriate examination and reliably interpreting basic imaging findings. Organized around the major organ systems, it situates imaging within the larger context of the patient's clinical presentation, the pathophysiology of the disease or injury, the analysis and differential diagnosis of imaging findings, and the integration of each into patient management. Special features include: Concise reviews of key anatomic and physiologic principles Full integration of pathophysiology and imaging findings More than 600 exquisite illustrations demonstrating important concepts Mini-atlas of essential cross-sectional anatomy of the brain, chest, and abdomen Essential Radiology is an invaluable reference for learning how to make full use of radiology's extraordinary promise in diagnosing disease and enhancing patient care. Instructors will find this an ideal book for course adoption.

Revised to reflect the current cardiothoracic radiology curriculum for diagnostic radiology residency, this concise text provides the essential knowledge needed to interpret chest radiographs and CT scans. This edition includes nearly 800 new images obtained with state-of-the-art technology and a new chapter on cardiac imaging. A new patterns of lung disease section provides a one-stop guide to recognizing and understanding findings seen on thin-section CT. This edition also includes the new classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, current techniques for evaluating solitary pulmonary nodules, an algorithm for managing incidental nodules seen on chest CT, the new World Health Organization classification of lung tumors, and numerous new cases in the self-assessment chapter.

Accompanying software includes program "Primal 3D Anatomy."

Essentials of Pediatric Radiology: A Multimodality Approach provides a concise overview of both basic and complex topics encountered by pediatric radiologists in their daily practice. Written by leading pediatric radiologists from renowned children's hospitals, it focuses particularly on multimodality imaging, covering the full gamut of radiologic diagnostic techniques, including conventional radiography and ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound, up-to-date CT and MRI techniques, and PET-CT. Each chapter is generously illustrated with high quality images, as well as graphs, tables, decision flowcharts and featured cases. Chapters are arranged according to pathologies, rather than organ systems, providing the reader with clinically-oriented information when employing 'whole body' techniques or analysing scans involving multiple anatomical sites. The book is complemented by an outstanding free access website of sample cases containing questions and answers that enable readers to test their diagnostic proficiency - see http://essentials-of-pediatric-radiology.com. A key text for pediatric radiology fellows, radiology residents and general radiologists, this is also essential reading for all pediatricians.

Written for medical students beginning clinical rotations, this book covers the topics most often included in introductory radiology courses. It emphasizes clinical problem solving, relates radiologic abnormalities to pathophysiology, and offers guidelines for selecting imaging studies in specific clinical situations. More than 1,200 images show variations in radiologic appearances of common disorders. This thoroughly revised Third Edition reflects state-of-the-art advances and includes new material on current interventional techniques and cardiac imaging. Nearly 200 new illustrations have been added and some older illustrations have been replaced by new ones reflecting contemporary imaging. This edition also includes an appendix of diagnostic pearls.
