GRAINGER & ALLISON’S DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY: CHEST AND CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM, 6TH EDITION

The 17 chapters in this book have been selected from the contents of the Chest and Cardiovascular System section in Grainger & Allison’s Diagnostic Radiology 6e. These chapters provide a succinct up-to-date overview of current imaging techniques and their clinical applications in daily practice and it is hoped that with this concise format the user will quickly grasp the fundamentals they need to know. Throughout these chapters, the relative merits of different imaging investigations are described, variations are discussed and recent imaging advances are detailed.
