Applied radiological anatomy

"This expanded new, full colour edition of the classic Applied Radiological Anatomy is an exhaustive yet practical imaging resource of every organ system using all diagnostic modalities. Every illustration has been replaced, providing the most accurate and up-to-date radiographic scans available. Features of the second edition: Completely new radiographic images throughout, giving the best possible anatomic examples currently available Both normal anatomy and normal variants shown Numerous colour line illustrations of key anatomy to aid interpretation of scans Concise text and numerous bullet-lists enhance the images and enable quick assimilation of key anatomic features Every imaging modality included Edited and written by a team of radiologists with a wealth of diagnostic experience and teaching expertise, and lavishly illustrated with over 1,000 completely new, state-of-the-art images, Applied Radiological Anatomy, second edition, is an essential purchase for radiologists at any stage of their career"--

"Introduction and imaging methods Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the mainstays of cerebral imaging. Skull radiography now plays very little part in diagnosis, being largely replaced by multislice CT. Non- or minimally invasive angiography performed using CT, (CT angiography), or MRI, (magnetic resonance angiography), has resulted in invasive catheter angiography being reserved for a few special diagnostic indications or as part of an interventional, (therapeutic), procedure. Anatomical detail is far better displayed by MRI than by CT, although both are valuable in clinical practice"--

Essential tool enabling radiologists to understand normal anatomy, normal images and normal variants in order to interpret radiological images.
