Reinus, William R.
Clinician's Guide to Diagnostic Imaging [electronic resource] / edited by William R. Reinus. - IX, 180 p. 35 illus. online resource.
Imaging Modalities and Contrast Agents -- Neurological Imaging -- Cardiothoracic Imaging -- Breast Imaging -- Abdominal Imaging -- Musculoskeletal Imaging -- Approach to Vascular Imaging.
This book is a concise guide to ordering radiology tests for diagnosis and treatment and provides best practice guidelines for patients whose management depends on a clinical question that is best approached through imaging. Organized primarily by organ system, it outlines considerations in selecting the most efficacious imaging studies based on the clinical history, laboratory values, and physical findings to arrive cost-effectively at a correct diagnosis. It also explores the current limitations of each imaging modality and presents evidence-based information to insure that patient safety considerations are observed when ordering potentially dangerous examinations. Clinician’s Guide to Diagnostic Imaging is a valuable resource for all physicians who regularly order imaging studies, including primary care physicians, family practitioners, internists, and surgeons alike. Further, this volume serves as an invaluable reference for medical students who are exposed to medical imaging for their first time or who are rotating through a radiology elective in medical school.
