Written by radiologists but for clinicians, and meant for
consultation in the "heat of battle" (the busy-sometimes
hectic-clinical setting), this one-of-a-kind little book guides you
through the most cost-effective and direct imaging route to a
diagnosis. Unlike all other books by radiologists, it does not try
to teach image interpretation. Rather, covering 65 common clinical
problems, from GI bleed, to Pulmonary Embolus, to Myocardial
Ischemia, to Stroke, The Clinicians's Guide incorporates all
available technologies-Multi-detector CT, MR, CT angiography, MR
angiography, PET, and combined PET/CT- to help clinicians get the
answers they need.
