Signs and symptoms for the most commonly encountered disease processes are covered in clinical vignettes that systematically discuss case history; background; test rationale; test of choice; radiologic images demonstrating the findings that make the diagnosis; and evidence-based references. Introductory chapters cover radiation safety; use of contrast agents; how a radiologic test can be chosen effectively based on specificity, accuracy, and pre-test likelihood of disease; and general guidelines on when and why to choose a particular imaging modality (i.e., CT, MRI, plain film). Quick reference features include decision algorithms and an index of common signs and symptoms. This book will be an indispensible study aid as well as a quick reference handbook in the clinic and on the ward.
