Written by experienced and well-respected physicians and professors, this new all-color volume presents the ultrasonic topographical and pathotopographical anatomy of the body, including the head, neck, chest, anterolateral abdominal wall, abdominal organs, retroperitoneal space, male and female pelvises, and lower extremities. Specific and non-specific ultrasonic symptoms are suggested for normal and abnormal developmental variants, diffuse and local pathotopographical anatomy.

When the first edition of this manual was published in 1995 it quickly established itself as a reference work. In the intervening period the rapid developments that have occurred in both ultrasound equipment and investigative techniques including use of ultrasonography in the therapeutic domain have necessitated publication of a totally new edition of this manual.

Medical Imaging describes the discovery and development of diagnostic imaging technologies, explaining how the technologies work and exploring some of the issues that such powerful and expensive technologies create. The book begins with the discovery of X-rays in 1895 and traces the history of imaging technology through today's tools, such as X-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional imaging by positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

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.
