Summary

This book follows a systematic approach to assessing radiographs, instructing the reader on the appearances of radiological abnormalities and comparing these with normal radiographs. Each chapter walks through a different part of the body, with numerous example radiographs, well annotated for clear reference and explanation. The new edition includes a greater proportion of digital images to reflect the increasing use of higher resolution digital imaging. The third edition also includes additional new contributors from the US and Canada.
