Author Description

Although medical students are not often formally examined in medical imaging, they need to develop the skill of interpreting images and scans used in clinical work. Imaging for Students is divided into four parts: Part I introduces basic concepts; Part II deals with plain film interpretation and common signs to look for; Part III deals with advanced radiological tests and procedures (e.g. ultrasound, CT, MRI, nuclear imaging and interventional radiology) and the physics of each, together with their advantages, disadvantages and limitations; Part IV outlines the use of radiological tests in common clinical situations system by system. Imaging for Students is didactic and user-friendly with large, high-quality images and explanatory captions. It provides a comprehensive introduction to diagnostic and interventional imaging.
