Lecture Notes: Radiology Lecture Notes: Radiology is a concise course in radiographical interpretation presenting the essential core knowledge for medical students and house officers. It provides a fundamental understanding of radiology, focusing on the conditions with which the junior doctor should be familiar. The First Edition was awarded a prestigious BMA book award in 1998. The book emphasises the pattern of disease as seen on commonly used X-rays and contrast examinations, with explanatory notes on further investigations by imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT and MRI. The book contains: Clear illustrations Clinically orientated text arranged into organ systems A chapter on examination hints and viva technique Key fact boxes are included to support the understanding of key information and this text will prove invaluable as a rapid revision guide for finals. Lecture Notes: Radiology is written specifically for students, junior doctors, specialist nurses and staff in the radiology department. Review quotes for the previous edition “This is a fantastic book which presents the essential core knowledge for medical students.” Sphincter, Liverpool Medical School Gazette

Radiology plays an invaluable role in the initial diagnosis and subsequent management of patients and this fully revised and updated new edition of Lecture Notes: Radiology presents the essential core knowledge needed by medical students, junior doctors on the Foundation Programme, specialist nurses and staff in the radiology department. Organized by body systems, it provides a fundamental understanding of radiology as it focuses on imaging techniques, basic film interpretation, and specialized radiological investigation. It emphasizes the pattern of disease as seen on commonly used X-rays and contrast examinations, with explanatory notes on further investigations by imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT and MRI. Lecture Notes: Radiology contains new and updated images and illustrations, an expansion of the skeletal trauma section, 'Key points' boxes, and increased use of bulleted text, making it ideal for study and revision.
