As radiographic investigations become more numerous, and as more small centres develop their own radiology facilities, the value of a basic training in radiology is becoming more widely appreciated. The medical student, the general practitioner and the postgraduate student preparing for higher examinations will need to supplement the limited amount of formal teaching by reading on the subject. However, much of the radiological literature is designed for those wishing to specialize in radiology and is too detailed for the undergraduate or postgraduate in disciplines other than radiology. In addition to plain radiographs of all parts of the body, examples of CT scans and ultrasound have been included so that readers can familiarize themselves with diagnoses involving these newer modalities. A broad range of disorders encountered in everyday practice are covered. The second part of the book gives the answers together with the brief discussions which cover the salient points of radiographic appearances and differential diagnoses. Where appropriate, additional radiographs supplement the discussions. Careful study of Exercises in Radiological Diagnosis will provide a working knowledge of radiological interpretation that will be invaluable to the daily practice of clinical medicine.
