A well-known medical physicist and author, an interventional radiologist, and an emergency room physician with no special training in radiology have collaborated to write, in the language familiar to physicians, an introduction to the technology and clinical applications of medical imaging. It is intentionally brief and not overly detailed, intended to help clinicians with very little free time rapidly gain enough command of the critically important imaging tools of their trade to be able to discuss them confidently with medical and technical colleagues; to explain the general ideas accurately to students, nurses, and technologists; and to describe them effectively to concerned patients and loved ones. Chapter coverage includes:
Patrizio Capasso, MD, is Professor and Division Chief of Vascular & Interventional Radiology in the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology and Surgery at the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
Andrew R. Wyant, MD, is Assistant Professor for Physician Assistant Studies at the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center Lexington, Kentucky, USA. Among many other courses that he teaches is a popular clinical skills seminar in in Radiographic Interpretation.
