With a focus on concise information and clear visual presentation, it uses a unique colour overlay system to clearly present abnormalities. Musculoskeletal X-rays for Medical Students: Presents each radiograph twice, side by side once as would be seen in a clinical setting and again with clearly highlighted anatomy or pathology Focuses on radiographic appearances and abnormalities seen in common clinical presentations, highlighting key learning points relevant to each condition Covers introductory principles, normal anatomy and common pathologies, in addition to disease-specific sections covering adult and paediatric practice Includes self-assessment to test knowledge and presentation techniques Musculoskeletal X-rays for Medical Students is designed for medical students, junior doctors, nurses and radiographers, and is ideal for both study and clinical reference.
