  This book gives a synoptic description of the practical details of how to carry out the common procedures in imaging on which an examination candidate will be expected to be familiar. It does not attempt to cover rarer techniques beyond the scope of the exam or to show the resulting images. Every technique is described under a set of standard headings (e.g. methods, indications, equipment, patient preparation, technique, aftercare, complications, and further reading).

  Now in its third edition, this successful and concise pocket book has been thoroughly updated to provide key information on current radiological/imaging procedures. Within chapters, there is substantial new information on radionuclide imaging and ultrasound. As appropriate, the role of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is also included. Each chapter opens with a list of the different methods by which organs or systems may be imaged. Individual methods are described in note form to a standard format so that information can be easily assimilated and extracted. Principally, this book is intended for the trainee radiologist preparing for professional exanimation. It will also be extremely useful to trainee radiographers and serve as an aide memoire to staff in the busy imaging department. Features: * Concise and uniform presentation - Thoroughly updated - Examines alternative approaches to a procedure - Chapters contain review sections which discuss the relative role of CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, and ultrasonography in the investigation of a body system - Highly selective and current list of references
