The third edition of Carvers’ Medical Imaging supports radiography students to take a reflective, evidence-based approach that will enhance their practice. This important textbook comprehensively covers the full range of medical imaging methods and techniques in one volume, and discusses them in relation to imaging principles, radiation dose, patient condition, body area and pathologies. It encourages the student to critically analyse their work rather than simply carrying out tasks. The book has been updated by an impressive team of contributors to align with developments in both radiographic techniques and the role of the radiographer. It is an essential companion for students of BSc (Hons) diagnostic radiography, those undertaking a foundation degree in radiographic practice or bachelor of medicine, and postgraduates alike. Comprehensive, fully illustrated and well referenced discussion of all imaging techniques. Full image evaluation for radiographic examinations, including common errors New material on potential impact of errors on accuracy of the radiographic report New sections on preliminary clinical evaluation for projection radiography examinations, which prepares students for UK professional standards Section on cross infection implications (relevant post COVID-19) Includes imaging of children with suspected physical abuse

This text on radiographic positioning and technique discusses radiographs of a particular area in terms of what pathologies the operator may be looking for, what can go wrong, and how to correct common positioning faults.

Since it was first published, Accident and Emergency Radiology: A Survival Guide has become the classic reference and an indispensable aid to all those who work in the Emergency Department. The core and substantial value lies in the step-by-step analytical approaches which help you to answer this question: "These images look normal to me, but . . . how can I be sure that I am not missing a subtle but important abnormality?" Consult this title on your favorite e-reader, conduct rapid searches, and adjust font sizes for optimal readability. Ensure accuracy in reading and interpretation of any given image. Common sources of error and diagnostic difficulty are highlighted. Prevent mistakes. Pitfalls and associated abnormalities are emphasized throughout. Avoid misdiagnoses. Normal anatomy is outlined alongside schemes for detecting variants of the norm. Each chapter concludes with a summary of key points. Will provide a useful overview of the most important features in diagnosis and interpretation. Easily grasp difficult anatomical concepts. Radiographs accompanied by clear, explanatory line-drawings. Spend less time searching with an improved layout and design with succinct, easy-to-follow text. A templated chapter approach helps you access key information quickly. Each chapter includes key points summary, basic radiographs, normal anatomy, guidance on analyzing the radiographs, common injuries, rare but important injuries, pitfalls, regularly overlooked injuries, examples, and references. Grasp the nuances of key diagnostic details. Updated and expanded information, new radiographs, and new explanatory line drawings reinforce the book’s aim of providing clear, practical advice in diagnosis. Avoid pitfalls in the detection of abnormalities that are most commonly overlooked or misinterpreted.

A concise, case-based clinical resource on the topic of imaging in spinal trauma, highly illustrated throughout.

Anatomy for Diagnostic Imaging covers everything trainee radiologists need to know about anatomy shown in the full range of medical imaging, including CT, MR and ultrasound.It provides an initial traditional anatomical description of each organ or system, followed by the radiological anatomy of that part of the body with labelled imaging examples in all modalities. A series of 'radiology pearls' emphasises clinically and radiologically important points.Written by radiologists with immense clinical and teaching experience, with seven new contributors, the fourth edition has been fully updated reflecting advances in imaging and evolving clinical practice. It will be indispensable for radiology registrars and residents, especially candidates for postgraduate radiology exams. A manageable size, it will also be of great use to radiographers, medical students, physicians, surgeons and others whose work requires an understanding of radiological anatomy. It is also an extremely useful reporting station reference book. - Covers the entire gamut of medical imaging - Easy to understand – aims to provide the essential radiological anatomy - Addresses the needs of candidates for postgraduate exams such as FRCR - Simple all new colour diagrams for optimal learning and easy recall - Provides key images in all modalities - 'Radiology pearls' emphasise clinically and radiologically important points - All new colour diagrams - Over 100 new and updated images - New and updated content including: - Spaces of the head and neck and lymph node levels - Identification of cerebral lobes and gyri on axial brain images - Updated spinal cord segmental anatomy and dermatomes - High resolution CT anatomy of lung parenchyma - Liver MRI and contrast agents - Prostate MRI - Cone beam CT wrist anatomy - Focus on MSK anatomy important to sports injuries - Lymphatic pathways in the breast - With New Contributors Danielle Byrne Philip Dempsey Emma Dunne Terence Farrell Barry Hutchinson John Hynes Jack Power

ADAPTIVE RADIOGRAPHY WITH TRAUMA, IMAGE CRITIQUE, AND CRITICAL THINKING, International Edition gives you a fresh perspective on radiographic positioning and critiquing in the real world. Unlike most radiography books, which approach topics in terms of the average patient under near ideal conditions, this text offers strategies and helpful tricks of the trade to employ when "the usual" does not apply. Based on developing adaptive thinking skills, the book shows you how to consider the paradigms and rules of radiology, examining and quantifying those that work while challenging those that don't. Thorough discussions on adapting beam angles, beam divergence, expansion of the light field, and spacial relations in positioning deliver the foundations of radiography and introduce quantifiable, repeatable methods. ADAPTIVE RADIOGRAPHY WITH TRAUMA, IMAGE CRITIQUE, AND CRITICAL THINKING, International Edition also addresses trauma and mobile radiography and positioning, changes brought about by the advent of digital radiography, routine and trauma skull positioning, and much more. Real-life case studies and critical thinking questions help you apply methods to a variety of issues and clinical settings, developing the problem-solving skills you need for success in any radiographic field.

This handbook is designed to enable radiation oncologists to treat patients appropriately and confidently by means of particle therapy. The orientation and purpose are entirely practical, in that the focus is on the physics essentials of delivery and treatment planning , illustration of the clinical target volume (CTV) and associated treatment planning for each major malignancy when using particle therapy, proton therapy in particular. Disease-specific chapters provide guidelines and concise knowledge on CTV selection and delineation and identify aspects that require the exercise of caution during treatment planning. The treatment planning techniques unique to proton therapy for each disease site are clearly described, covering beam orientation, matching/patching field techniques, robustness planning, robustness plan evaluation, etc. The published data on the use of particle therapy for a given disease site are also concisely reported. In addition to fully meeting the needs of radiation oncologists, this "know why" and “know how” guide to particle therapy will be valuable for medical physicists, dosimetrists, and radiation therapists.

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States.
