Description
Written by radiologists but for clinicians, and meant for consultation in the "heat of battle" (the busy?sometimes hectic?clinical setting), this one-of-a-kind little book guides you through the most cost-effective and direct imaging route to a diagnosis. Unlike all other books by radiologists, it does not try to teach image interpretation. Rather, covering 65 common clinical problems, from GI bleed, to Pulmonary Embolus, to Myocardial Ischemia, to Stroke, The Clinicians's Guide incorporates all available technologies?Multi-detector CT, MR, CT angiography, MR angiography, PET, and combined PET/CT? to help clinicians get the answers they need.

Audience
Medical Students in their third and fourth years; residents in Family Practice, Internal Medicine, and Surgery; Nurse Practitioners and Physicians? Assistants; Emergency Medicine Residents; Practicing Family Practitioners, Internists, Surgeons, and Emergency Physicians
