Taveras, J M; Ferrucci, J T

This five-volume loose leaf work of approximately 4,500 pages is designed to be used as a clinical reference in modern radiologic practice. It covers all aspects of diagnostic imaging, starting with the physical foundation of each imaging modality. The material is organized according to organ systems and not along technical considerations. Thus, when discussing a disease process in any organ, all imaging modalities that can be brought to bear on the diagnosis of an entity are discussed. The volumes are lavishly illustrated, containing about 7,000 black-and-white illustrations and about 50 tables. The five volumes contain nine sections. The discussions of the organ systems are illustrated using examples from plain film, nuclear medicine, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance, position emission tomography and ultrasound. Wherever possible, each chapter begins with a discussion of anatomy, physiology, and general examination technique, and then proceeds to a discussion of disease categories. The loose leaf approach allows for updating of the contents each year through the annual revision service.
