Editorial Review:

Written for medical students beginning clinical rotations, this book covers the topics most often included in introductory radiology courses. It emphasizes clinical problem solving, relates radiologic abnormalities to pathophysiology, and offers guidelines for selecting imaging studies in specific clinical situations.
