Book description
This comprehensive introduction to the essentials of radiology is
designed to enable readers to excel at ordering the appropriate
examination and reliably interpreting basic imaging findings. Organized
around the major organ systems, it situates imaging within the larger
context of the patient's clinical presentation, the pathophysiology of
the disease or injury, the analysis and differential diagnosis of
imaging findings, and the integration of each into patient management.
Special features include:
Concise reviews of key anatomic and physiologic principles
Full integration of pathophysiology and imaging findings
More than 600 exquisite illustrations demonstrating important
concepts
Mini-atlas of essential cross-sectional anatomy of the brain,
chest, and abdomen
Essential Radiology is an invaluable reference for learning how to make
full use of radiology's extraordinary promise in diagnosing disease and
enhancing patient care. Instructors will find this an ideal book for
course adoption. "Anyone who has had the opportunity to hear
Richard Gunderman lecture would expect only a product of exceptional
quality by this erudite radiologist-educator. He delivers the goods! The
second edition of
Essential Radiology: Clinical Presentation,
Pathophysiology, Imaging
is an updated, comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of
radiology. The book is targeted at medical students and nonradiologist
trainees, all of whom will greatly benefit from reading it and will
learn how to use radiology effectively in their chosen specialties. [The
book] is a complete guide for nonradiologists who want to learn how to
integrate radiologic imaging into patient diagnosis and management.
Instructors will find this an ideal book for courses; the book can be
read cover-to-cover during a month-long resident elective or medical
student clerkship. This book is highly recommended."--American
Journal of Roentgenology_x000D_ _x000D_ "Ideal for medical
students...impressive...the appendix of normal cross-sectional anatomy,
with labeled structures and corresponding illustrations, is an
exceptional and convenient reference. Image quality is superior and
appropriately thorough for an educational tool. It is a challenging yet
important task to teach students the role of radiology in clinical
medicine. This book serves its purpose of explaining which examinations
to order and why they are appropriate. It is appropriately priced at .
95 and would be a suitable reference for any medical school course. It
is recommended especially for anyone considering a career in radiology.
The text is aptly written for students yet is sophisticated enough to
foster interest in residents and practicing physicians looking to expand
their understanding of radiology."--Radiology_x000D_ _x000D_
"Thieme's
Essential Radiology
is a very approachable, basic text that is portable, easy to read,
engaging and provides an excellent introduction or review of the
practice of Radiology for medical students at all levels, interns,
junior radiology residents, and trainees or health care practitioners
outside of radiology. Dr. Gunderman is renowned for his teaching skills,
and it is evident in the presentation of the materials in this book,
which could easily serve as a textbook for any radiology clinical
clerkship. ...The more clinical relevance can be shown, the more the
reader is going to find it interesting and useful; certainly, this text
does a good job of that as well. The chapter organization...being organ
and system based...simplifies the reader's approach to finding the
material so desired. It makes it a lot easier for a student or teacher
to refer to an appropriate chapter or portion thereof when a case comes
up clinically or in relation to a lecture. ...Concise, well presented,
and decorated with appropriate and legible imaging...I would certainly
recommend it..."--Academic Radiology_x000D_ _x000D_ "Excellent
textbook.. The informative text of each chapter is enriched by numerous
diagnostic illustrations and by representative schematic drawings.
..This book, which presents a comprehensive, clear, and informative
review of the essential elements of radiology, is strongly recommended
to the medical students and, in particular, to the junior residents in
radiology."--Clinical Imaging_x000D_ _x000D_ Praise for first
edition:_x000D_ "The excellence of this book lies in its
integration of clinical, pathophysiologic, and imaging uses..The
discussions are informative and interesting..Recommended."
