Starting with a clear explanation of how each imaging modality actually works, the reader is then guided step-by-step through the range of imaging modalities available, with important information included on the hazards and risks associated with medical imaging. The work includes a detailed guide to the interpretation of plain films of the chest and abdomen, before providing a system-based tutorial covering the most common conditions that require imaging for diagnostic confirmation. Using evidence-based studies and guidelines, 'Imaging For Students' takes a logical approach to the investigation of clinical scenarios, where possible indicating the 'best first test'.

With its comprehensive and thoughtful coverage, 'Imaging For Students' presents students with everything they need to know for a clear understanding of the advantages, disadvantages, and possible side effects of the imaging modalities available.
