DESCRIPTION
Radiology 101 is 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.
Great depictions of normal anatomy and common
pathology help guide those seeking a basic
understanding of radiology, especially interns and
radiology residents and non-radiology professionals
desiring a concise overview of the field, such as nurse
practitioners, physician assistants and primary-care
physicians.
