Designed especially for medical students and residents, this new edition covers important topics in medical imaging, with a special focus on how to integrate imaging into the full clinical care of patients. It features easy-to-read icons that highlight patho-physiology and imaging sections; convenient chapter outlines; a mini-atlas of cross-sectional anatomy of the brain, abdomen/pelvis and chest; and a suggested reading list. With "Essential Radiology", students will learn how to build cogent case presentations, prepare for the boards, and most importantly, gain a full understanding of the disease process that will make them better physicians.
