Clinical Imaging by Dennis Marchiori is a comprehensive text with a clear, concise writing style that allows students and practitioners to quickly develop a better understanding of diagnostic imaging. Covering soft tissue imaging and skeletal imaging, including brain and spinal cord, chest, and abdomen, Clinical Imaging seamlessly integrates plain film with MRI and CT. And with more than 3,500 illustrations all contained in one volume, this trusted text offers the most effective, realistic and comprehensive approach available today.

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. Emphasis is placed on plain-film imaging with CT, MRI & Ultrasound included. Plus, there are numerous tables for typical symptoms, causes and differential diagnosis of common diseases and disorders. New for this edition: book is 4-color for first time with new anatomic variants added to each chapter; inside cover lists common acronyms and treatment of acute contrast media reactions; discussion of biopsy of thyroid nodules (procedure commonly ordered by primary-care providers); expanded nuclear imaging section to include basics of PET/CT; and new chapters on radiation protection/dose reduction and medical decision-making.

Thoroughly and systematically presents the state-of-the-art inthe diagnostic uses of radiologic imaging and nuclear medicine inthe diagnosis and management of infectious and inflammatorydiseases Although our understanding of microorganisms has advancedsignificantly and antimicrobial therapy has become increasinglyavailable, infection remains a major cause of patient morbidity andmortality. Imaging of infection and inflammation provides a classicexample of radiology and nuclear medicine s strengths as wellas weaknesses in the discovery and diagnosis of disease.Fortunately, the weaknesses are subsiding as new studies andtechniques point to better planning and precision in the use ofsingle and combined imaging modalities. Diagnostic Imaging of Infections and Inflammatory Diseases: AMultidisciplinary Approach deals with the very latestdevelopments in the use of radiologic techniques and modalities inthe management of patients with a host of infectious andinflammatory diseases. Tremendously timely and useful, thisinnovative, multidisciplinary book covers a wide range of topics inthree parts: PART 1: Infections and Host Response * Epidemiology of Infections in the New Century * Bacterial Osteomyelitis: the Clinician Point of View PART 2: Radiological Imaging * Radiological Imaging of Osteomyelitis * Radiological Imaging of Spine Infection * Radiological Imaging of Soft Tissue Infections * Radiological Imaging of Abdominal Infections and InflammatoryDisease * Radiological Imaging of Vascular Graft Infection * Radiological Imaging of TB and HIV PART 3: Nuclear Medicine Imaging * Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Infections: Techniques, AcquisitionProtocols, and Interpretation Criteria * Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Osteomyelitis: WBC, MonoclonalAntibody, or Bacterial Imaging? * Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Spondylodiscitis: The Emerging Roleof PET * Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Soft Tissue Infections * Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Infections and InflammatoryDiseases of the Abdomen * Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Vascular Graft Infections: TheAdded Role of Hybrid Imaging * Nuclear Medicine Imaging of TB and HIV * Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Fever of Unknown Origin * Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Inflammatory Diseases Along with carefully developed clinical cases describing themanagement of patients with inflammation and infection,Diagnostic Imaging of Infections and Inflammatory Diseasesis an ideal guide for radiologists and nuclear medicine physiciansas well as clinical specialists from many other fields.

Diagnostic Imaging will help medical students, junior doctors, residents and trainee radiologists understand the principles behind interpreting all forms of imaging. Providing a balanced account of all the imaging modalities available -- including plain film, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide imaging and interventional radiology -- it explains the techniques used and the indications for their use. Organised by body system, it covers all anatomical regions. In each region the authors discuss the most suitable imaging technique and provide guidelines for interpretation, illustrating clinical problems with normal and abnormal images. Diagnostic Imaging is extensively illustrated throughout, featuring high quality full-colour images and more than 600 photographs. The images are downloadable in PowerPoint format from the brand new companion website at www.wileydiagnosticimaging.com , which also has over 100 interactive MCQs, to aid learning and teaching. When you purchase the book you also receive access to the Wiley E-Text: Powered by VitalSource. This is an interactive digital version of the book, featuring downloadable text and images, highlighting and note-taking facilities, bookmarking, cross-referencing, in-text searching, and linking to references and abbreviations. Diagnostic Imaging is also available on CourseSmart, offering extra functionality as well as an immediate way to access the book.
