内容説明

This book provides the physician with a handy and accessible guide to the ordering of radiologic tests. The emphasis is on pursuing the most logical sequence of tests to arrive at a diagnosis, without subjecting the patient to unnecessary discomfort and also keeping costs in line. This book provides a firm foundation and point of reference for the practising physician. The book aims to stimulate the reader to think more critically about the diagnostic imaging process, both in the application of tests and in the assessment of their results.
