Description
A popular introduction to radiologic anatomy, the imaging manifestations of common disease processes, and what imaging studies to use when.

The first section addresses basic principles of the various imaging modalities, while the second section deals with imaging of body regions plus, contains a chapter on nuclear imaging. Each chapter starts with a brief outline and ends with key points.
