Now in its Third Edition, Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology is a comprehensive review of radiology that covers all ten subspecialties of radiology and includes over 2,700 illustrations.

This edition features expanded and updated coverage in all sections and many new illustrations and tables. Coverage of multi-slice CT has been expanded and new bone imaging modalities are included. This edition is available in two formats: the traditional hardbound single-volume textbook, or a softbound four-volume set. The content is identical for both formats.

Features:

• Comprehensive text that covers all areas of diagnostic radiology
• Used as "first reader" for beginning resident
• Used for "comprehensive review" for senior residents preparing for American Board of Radiology examinations
• Each of the 10 sections of the ABR examinations are included
• Expanded and updated coverage of all sections
• Many new illustrations and tables
• Expanded coverage of multi-slice CT
• New bone imaging modalities included
• his edition available as hardbound single-volume reference or as softbound four-volume set
