Synopsis

Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound (US) offer today's clinicians a versatile, but sometimes bewildering range of options for cross-sectionally imaging patients. Using the same formula that has made the Chest X-Ray and Abdominal X-Ray Made Easy books so popular, this new title explains these three cross-sectional imaging methods in a simple and straightforward fashion, spelling out exactly when each modality is most appropriate. Numerous imaging examples demonstrate how to obtain the best results. Explores a particular cross-sectional imaging modality in each section, reviewing the relevant physics and then presenting sample images that demonstrate the results that can be achieved. Discusses each technique's advantages and disadvantages. Specifies in which anatomic regions each imaging modality is most and least useful. Features a convenient pocket size, for easy reference anywhere

About this title

Review:

...I believe that this book achieves its aim of providing non-radiologists with an insight into cross sectional imaging using a simple, no "frills" and "cringe free" approach. Despite the book's small size and the fact that it can be read "cover-to-cover" in a couple of days, it packs a surprisingly "large punch" with a sizeable amount of useful information, and represents good value for money.The British Journal of Radiology, 2006
