Diagnostic-Imaging Books

Strictly an anatomy book, but very good. I use way more than DI orthopedics or stoller. The anatomy is in high detail with short but very useful discussions. Predominantly MRI, but also ultrasound, xray and CT where appropriate. Standard, CT and MR arthrography anatomy as well.

This series of anatomy texts has no peer. Each section outlines the key facts, presents superbly executed graphics in explanation, then proceeds to meticulously demonstrate the fine details and subtleties of imaging anatomy using well-labelled and captioned images from every imaging modality ---from plain radiographs through ultrasound, CT, MR, scintigraphy, and even PET.

Admittedly the three volumes will set you back nearly a $1,000 if you get the e-book option (very worthwhile to avoid lugging the set back and forth from home to work), but nothing else comes close to such completeness and quality.

recommended because there are lots of images which are so important for any book on medical imaging.

This tome is the first to surpass Ignac Fogelman's 1994 "An Atlas of Clinical Nuclear Medicine." The latest hybrid imaging modalities demand ---and this text provides--- correlation of high-resolution anatomic imaging with the functional imaging of both single and dual photon studies. The high quality images and graphics are accompanied by concise explanations and useful procedural protocols.

The Society of Nuclear Medicine's "Diagnostic Patterns in Nuclear Medicine" provides a lengthy listing of diagnoses associated with various imaging findings, but that book's mere listing does little to help make the distinctions necessary to nail the differential diagnosis. This book has no such weakness. A very special strength of this text is that every section explains the distinctions that assist the differential diagnosis. More remarkable still, the explanations are accompanied by images that make those distinctions clear.

Other than the very rare explanation that is too concise or acronym that is obscure, I find no weakness in this text.

I used this to study for my CAQ, well-organized with concise and in-depth reviews as necessary. A little short on Congenital Inner Ear Malformations and the spectrum i.e. Cochlea etc., but on the whole, seemed very comprehensive, readable, and good for review of a very information intense and sometimes diffcult topic.

Reconozco que estoy seducido por la serie de textos de radiología que la conjución Osborn/Harnsberger/Stoller et al nos ha regalado. El concepto es tan brillante que el resultado en manos de tan acreditados autores no podía ser menos. En el caso del texto sobre cabez y cuello teníamos como en sus hermanos gemelos un antecedente ilustre, el handbook que tanto éxito tuvo entre los que sin dedicación específica al área de cabeza/cuello pretendían tener una idea de tan difícil área radiológicamente hablando. El texto actual es hijo del anterior pero con la exuberancia iconográfica que el concepto nuevo permite. Además de bonito el texto ex maravilloso en estructura, decisión de los elementos claves de cada diagnóstico y aportación de imágenes state of art de cada patología y de sus diagnósticos diferenciales. Ni sobra ni falta nada. No creo que nadie encuentre, por ejemplo en el Som, nada que no tenga aquí en la mitad de tiempo. Las introducciones anatómicas son pertinentes y van al grano y la selección de patologías es absolutamente indiscutible desde ningún punto de vista. En definitiva y aclarando que no tengo comisión alguna en el invento ( qué mas quisiera yo) diré que el texto es de obligada compra para cualquier radiólogo que trabaje ocasional o diariamente en el área de cabeza y cuello.

Well done text that can help educate sonographers and sonologists. Nicely put together. Good information.

fine book for sonographers, radiology residents and ultrasonologist

can some body E-mail me if he have any information about the latest eddition of (Diagnostic Ultrasound: Applied to Obstetrics and Gynecology) by Editor: Rudy E. Sabbagha
Rather than the one edited in 1987 , I appreciate it and many thanks , god pless you all

I am wondering if I can E-mail the author, before I make any public domain comments . . . .can you help?

A BOOK ABOUT DIAGNOSTIC ULTROSOND

The best single volume diagnostic Ultrasound textbook available.

It is a 1998 book so probably time for a new edition.....but really how much has changed? The core info is still the same.

I recommend it for residents/registrars,and also for consultants wanting an approachable comprehensive text.

It is very well written and illustrated.

Since Mri has a variety in Pathiology i strongly recommend this book to any radiologist who wants to have a full view in this sector.

This is a really great book for MRI. It's clinically oriented and very practical to use. Most of the text is in chart form and is packed with facts. They also gives you tips on interpreting subtle and difficult cases. The images are excellent. I bought one for each of my offices locations.

Swischuk is one of the Pedi radiology studs. This is a must read if not a must own.

This is simply a must read for anyone starting out in pediatric radiology. I'm a resident at Mallinckrodt Inst of Radiology and found this a readable and very well written primer on pediatric emergency radiology. A must read before night float!!! (Shin concurs)

Very comprehensive review and well written. Strongly recommended.

This book is by far the best book for understanding the details of SPECT / PET design. It comprehensively covers every aspect of the design of these machines. I am currently designing a SPECT machine for a medical instrumentation company and this book has been an invaluable guide. My co-workers borrow this book so often that I have ordered a second copy. If you are serious about understanding SPECT / PET then this is the book for you.

For us we have used it as a pocket and reference book in our facility.

Most imaging books on trauma are either written by the physicians for the physicians or the radiologists for the radiologists.

Fortunately, this book provides the best of both worlds. Easy to read and explanation provided that gives meaning to why we do this and that in our facilities.

Perhaps an update would include more radiographs or line drawings which would make reading easier.

This small book makes it easy to carry around while at work for quick references.

There are useful tables and best of all recommendations on the types of view (plain radiographs) that would be appropriate for each situation. In addition, highlighting the advantages of using a particular view.

There are overviews, on how to improve and reduce risk of missing abnormalities on films taken at the emergency department.

Overall, the book is divided into chapters that are sensible that makes referencing easy. I would recommend this book for physicians (especially trauma), nurses, technologists and interns/housemans.
