Eisenberg, an experienced radiologist and educator, this book will help you become a more competent professional and a valued contributor to the diagnostic team.

• Radiographer Notes provide helpful suggestions for producing optimal radiographs of each organ system, and include information on positioning and exposure factor adjustments for patients with specific conditions or handling requirements
• Hundreds of high-quality illustrations cover all modalities, clearly demonstrating the clinical manifestations of different disease processes and providing a standard for the high-quality images needed in radiography practice
• Discussion of widely used imaging modalities includes the advantages and limitations of ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and fusion imaging
• Summary tables list the location and radiographic appearance of each disease as well as its treatment
• Recommended imaging procedures are provided for each pathologic condition, along with the sequence for choosing and performing alternative imaging studies if necessary
• Review questions help you assess your comprehension of the material in each chapter, with an answer key at the back of the book

Editorial Reviews

This book provides an introduction to the basicprinciples of pathology and basic radiographic pathology. The firstedition was published in 1990. The purpose is to introduce studentradiographers to the basic principles of pathology and the radiographicappearance of specific disease processes. It also provides a textbookfor the required course for student radiographers. The authors haveprovided the radiologic technology academic community with a greatlyneeded resource. This book is intended for student radiographers;however, experienced radiographers could enhance their understanding ofdisease processes too. The authors are recognized authorities withinthe radiologic technology community. Overall, the radiographs aregood; however, in the new edition, some appear slightly darker. Theinclusion of outdated exams (i.e., bronchograms) and really unusualpathology might not be needed in a basic textbook. The layout of thebook is excellent, covering the pathology by going through eachanatomical system. The addition of answers to the chapter questions wasappreciated by my students. This is the only textbook is availablefor a radiographic pathology course, designed for studentradiographers. The authors have done an excellent job in providing acomprehensive overview of a very complex subject. The use of thistextbook in a radiographic pathology course will greatly enhance thestudents' understanding.
