Modern medical practice has seen many advances in imaging over the past ten years. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, CT scanning and Ultrasound investigations have all been added to the repertoire of normal practice.

This can only be advantageous for the patient if the clinician knows what to look for on the image. This book takes you through 200 images in a stimulating manner designed to improve your confidence in reporting the humble chest X-ray.

This book is designed to make the various hardships encountered by many students more personal in order to give teachers insight into the very real needs of today's students.
