More About This Textbook
Overview
In the past five years, the development of new imaging technologies that make possible faster and more accurate diagnoses has significantly improved the imaging of disease and injury. This new edition of Squire's Fundamentals of Radiology describes and illustrates these new techniques to prepare medical students and other radiology learners to provide the most optimal and up-to-date imaging management for their patients. Not only are new diagnostic techniques outlined, such as the multidetector computed tomography diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and the diffusion-weighted magnetic-resonance imaging of stroke, but hundreds of new diagnostic images have been included to illustrate the radiological characteristics of common diseases with state-of-the-art computed radiography, ultrasound, multidetector computed tomography, and magnetic-resonance images. The text has been completely reviewed and updated to present the latest and best strategies in diagnostic imaging.
New interventional radiology procedures have been added, including vertebroplasty, a percutaneous injection treatment of painful spinal compression fractures; uterine artery embolization, a surgical alternative to hysterectomy in women with painful or bleeding uterine fibroids; and radiofrequency ablation, a percutaneous technique for treating unresectable tumors in the liver and other organs with probes that superheat and thus destroy cancer cells.
A new chapter on advances in diagnostic imaging describes many cutting-edge imaging technologies, such as three-dimensional and digital imaging, functional magnetic-resonance imaging, PET/CT (positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography), cardiac calcium CT scoring, multidetector gaited cardiac CT, and molecular imaging.
The book contains predominantly black-and-white illustrations, with some color illustrations.
Editorial Reviews
Kathleen A. Murray
Robert Novelline continues in his outstanding fashion to update an excellent beginning radiology text. This is the fifth edition of a text (last edition 1988) written as an introduction to radiology for medical students. In 1964, Lucy Frank Squires published the first edition, which became a standard for education of medical students. Dr. Squires recently passed away, but her teaching enthusiasm and spirit are maintained in eloquent fashion by her colleague and friend, Dr. Novelline. This is written as an introduction to radiology concepts, beginning with the most basic fundamentals and applying them to clinical practice in informative and memorable ways. The text is appropriately aimed at medical students and students in allied health fields. It is intended to be read cover-to-cover as principles are taught, illustrated, and tested in cumulative fashion. The author is a credible source, drawing from his years of experience teaching medical students as well as from the experience of his mentor, Dr. Squires. Without changing its purpose, this text has been rewritten considerably and is nearly doubled in size. New chapters in anatomy and subspecialty areas are included. New to this edition are chapters emphasizing primary care areas, including women's imaging, men's imaging, pediatric radiology, and AIDS. This edition also contains photographs of patients undergoing exams in radiology suites and discussions of the patients' experiences in the department. As before, unknown cases are included in most chapters with answers provided in an appendix. Dr. Novelline has done an incredible job, taking an excellent text and improving it. Most changes to a text of this caliber would beless significant because the author would perhaps fear destroying an icon. Instead, the author has kept the best parts of the previous editions, adding and updating to create a new incredible educational tool for a reasonable price that will stand the test of time. This text belongs in the personal library of every medical student.Booknews
A text for medical students on basic principles of diagnostic radiology, featuring many b&w photos and diagrams, and b&w and color images from computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and ultrasound. Includes case examples with questions and answers. This fifth edition contains new images, and five new chapters on anatomy, vascular imaging, interventional radiology, imaging of medical conditions of men, women, and children, and the use of radiology to track the course of diseases such as TB and AIDS. Also useful as an instruction manual for those in the allied health sciences. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.From The Critics
