Booknews

New edition (first 1985) of a comprehensive outline of radiographic findings for physicians with some experience in radiology who wish to strengthen their diagnostic acumen. To assist the film reader, the text is based upon radiographic findings, unlike most other textbooks in radiology that are disease-oriented. In this second edition, the quality of many illustrations has been improved and many more have been added. More space has been given to nonconventional imaging methods (ultrasound, CT, and MRI) in further workup of the case, to pediatric and adolescent conditions, and to AIDS. Beautifully produced on coated stock. 81/2x12". Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
