Infos

The 'Index of Medical Imaging' is the must-have companion for
diagnostic radiography students and newly qualified imaging
practitioners, designed to allow easy access to descriptions and
discussions of many aspects of medical imaging such as radiographic
projections, positioning, procedures and clinical examinations.

The Index consists of multiple lists, tables and discussions
linked to (amongst others) radiography, CT, MRI and components such
as radiological contrast agents, responses to contrast reactions,
MRI safety. There is a glossary of terms and definitions plus a
list of abbreviations that may be encountered within radiology.
Tables are given that suggest the order and type of examination
that should be performed as defined by the UK Royal College of
Radiologists.
