Download or read book A Systematic Approach to Review Computed Tomography Imaging written by Gilbert Gravino and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills a lacuna in the literature that is currently available for radiology trainees. It provides the basic knowledge required and a step-by-step approach to tackle and systematically review the most commonly performed computed tomography (CT) scans. This is presented in 11 separate concise guides which allow the trainee to develop a good comprehensive reviewing routine and avoid missing important review areas. The guides include: (1) Head, (2) Cerebral angiogram, (3) Carotoid angiogram, (4) Cerebral venogram, (5) Thorax, (6) CTPA, (7) Aortogram, (8) Abdomen & Pelvis, (9) Kidneys, Ureters & Bladder, (10) Spine (cervical, thoracic & lumbosacral), and (11) Peripheral angiogram (upper & lower limbs). Other sections of the book include a concise protocol index, a descriptive terminology index, and checklists with review areas which are all useful for on-call reporting. The content was reviewed by senior consultant radiologists. It is not intended to explain detailed pathology or detailed anatomy, as these are well covered in other dedicated textbooks. It has been prepared with the junior radiology trainee in mind. Senior radiology trainees have also used it to audit their current practice against the systematic guides and to help them with their on-call work. Other specialists and professionals who wish to develop a good foundation in systematically reviewing specific CT scan studies can certainly also benefit from this work. This resource is available as a concise printed book as well as an eBook so that you can easily carry it with you at work. It is a must have for those who are just starting off in radiology!This book qualifies for Kindle Matchbook which allows Amazon customers who have purchased the paperback to subsequently buy the ebook for just £2.99

Download or read book Search Pattern A Systematic Approach to Diagnostic Imaging written by Long H. Tu and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Search Pattern is a collection of step-by-step guides to more than a hundred of the most common types of studies in radiology. Blind spots reported in the literature as well as practical wisdom from experts is synthesized into highly structured processes that can guide the development of better practice. Much of the contained insight has never been organized in one place before. Search Pattern covers almost every type of study that a radiologist will encounter in training or practice. This text is written with the assumption that the reader has familiarity with basic radiologic terminology, anatomy, and physics. In the interest of brevity, almost all information outside of the organized approaches is omitted. The reader is encouraged to look up terms, images, and background information from supplementary resources. Formalized teaching of search patterns is a missing part of the educational literature in our field. Hopefully this book helps fill that void. It is one that I would have benefited from greatly when I was a resident.
