Understanding X-Rays: A Synopsis of Radiology

By F. Van Gelderen

Book Overview

This easy-to-read handbook begins with the basics on how to "read" X-rays and then goes on to discuss the details. It is a practical reference that is easy to carry on rounds, but despite its small size, it contains a wealth of information. Radiologists are often consulted regarding normal variants that mimic disease, and these are discussed in detail. Exhaustive lists of differential diagnoses are featured. The X-ray quizzes are informative yet challenging. This handbook is invaluable for day-to-day use by clinicians and for residents and medical students preparing for qualifying exams.
