Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy – 3rd edition

In this easily accessible pocket atlas, two expert radiologists present the normal radiographic anatomy readers need in order to interpret conventional diagnostic radiographs. Each practical, two-page unit displays a standard radiograph of a different projection on the left-hand side supplemented by a detailed, clearly labeled schematic drawing on the opposing page. The consistent, user-friendly format facilitates easy identification and rapid review of key anatomic information.

Features:

• 177 radiographic studies provide multiple views of every basic anatomic structure
• High-resolution radiographs appear beside explanatory drawings to aid comprehension
• Seven examinations new to this edition cover a trans-scapular “Y” view of the shoulder; 45? external and internal rotation views of the knee; and more

An ideal reference for anyone involved in the interpretation of commonly performed radiographic studies, the third edition of Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy is an especially valuable tool not only for medical students and radiology residents, but also for radiological technologists.

Workbook for Diagnostic Medical Sonography

Designed to accompany Diagnostic Medical Sonography: Vascular Imaging, this Workbook offers a full complement of self-study aids that actively engage students in learning and enable them to assess and build their knowledge as they advance through the text. 

Most importantly, it allows students to get the most out of their study time, with a variety of custom designed exercises to help them master each objective.

The Radiography Procedure and Competency Manual

The Radiography Procedure and Competency Manual is designed to help students become competent, meticulous, conscientious, confident, and professional radiologic technologists. I’m sure that other radiography educators have experienced frustrations similar to my own in trying to find a comprehensive, organized, and practical method to teach and track performance and competency. I hope this text will fill that void.

Balancing the many components of producing high-quality radiographs is a daunting task. This manual introduces students to new material, provides a foundation from which to expand, and provides students and instructors with an easyto-follow, comprehensive text that explains intricacies on a comprehensible level.

It is a progressive text based on clinical theories that are the foundations for mastering all clinical applications and skills, and it bridges the gap between theory and performance. Because this manual is very detailed, students can use it as a reference to practice and learn from their mistakes. When students are familiar with the format of the manual, they acquire habits that allow them to perform systematically, without leaving out important details.

Pocket Guide to Radiation Oncology

Pocket Guide to Radiation Oncology is an efficient, no-frills guide to the basics of clinical radiation oncology. The chapters are packed with clinical pearls and tables covering treatment options, doses, side effects, target delineations, treatment planning, and other essentials.

Chapters are organized by site-specific disease. Each chapter presents the must-know key points, including treatment options by stage, relevant technical considerations, and important items for follow-ups. This crucial material makes the book an ideal companion for the practicing physician during rounds and other clinical settings. The book's organized format also lends itself to quick review for the board or MOC exams, and it can serve as a handy reference during a case review at a tumor board.

Key Features:

• The outline format and wealth of succinct tables make this a great quick reference
• Each chapter concludes with a list of selected, summarized studies relevant to the disease
• 51 disease-based chapters make it easy to find particular sites without having to sift through dense, broad text
• Supplemental sections at the end of the book provide quick access to normal tissue tolerance constraints as well as recommendations for managing symptoms after radiation therapy

MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls

MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls presents over 1,800 images of normal anatomic variants, artifacts, and other features that mimic pathology on MRI scans. The book will reduce the rate of diagnostic errors by helping radiologists distinguish pathology from MRI appearances that may simulate disease.

Organized by anatomic region, the book covers the gamut of neuroradiology, breast imaging, vascular, cross-sectional, and musculoskeletal radiology. Each chapter shows examples of normal anatomy, variations, common incidental or benign conditions, and imaging features that may mimic other disease processes. Concise figure legends facilitate rapid identification of imaging characteristics. Examples of common MRI artifacts are included, with brief explanations from physicists in language understandable to radiologists.

An Introduction to Resting State fMRI Functional Connectivity

Spontaneous 'resting-state' fluctuations in neuronal activity offer insights into the inherent organisation of the human brain, and may provide markers for diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. 

Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be used to investigate intrinsic functional connectivity networks, which are identified based on similarities in the signal measured from different regions.
