This volume covers the three types of cross-sectional imaging that are in common use today - computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US). The book is a simplified text that illustrates how each modality can be most appropriately used. Using a clear and simple style, each section includes a description of the relevant technique, followed by illustrated anatomical examples of where the use of the modality is best considered. This book will be of help not just to medical students and ...

This volume covers the three types of cross-sectional imaging that are in common use today - computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US). The book is a simplified text that illustrates how each modality can be most appropriately used. Using a clear and simple style, each section includes a description of the relevant technique, followed by illustrated anatomical examples of where the use of the modality is best considered. This book will be of help not just to medical students and junior doctors, but to many others working in the health profession.Clear descriptions of each technique. Initial short background chapters on the appropriate physics of each technique. Useful list of advantages and disadvantages of each technique. A full description of anatomical regions where each imaging modality is useful with examples. Also discusses the anatomical areas where imaging modalities are less useful.
