This handy reference is a concise guide to the selection of over 300 imaging exams utilizing a decision-making approach. This authoritatively written handbook provides strategies for patients with symptoms that require multiple diagnoses; and situations when a working clinical diagnosis must be confirmed, refined or rejected by imaging procedures. Every symptom or sign presented is accompanied by a list of differential diagnoses and each clinical diagnosis includes a brief outline of typical signs, symptoms and predisposing factors. An appendix is also included that provides a review of the latest imaging modalities that are discussed throughout the text. The outline format and the abundant use of clinical scenarios make this handy guide a valuable, easy-to-use reference.
