Revision Notes for the Final FRCR Part A summarises the core knowledge required for each of the six test papers that make up the exam, all in highly succinct bullet point format. The book takes the stress out of the revision process by providing candidates with a readymade set of highly synthesised and relevant notes that focus exclusively on the topics encountered in the exam. Thoroughly updated for the second edition, each chapter has been authored by successful exam candidates and in turn edited by consultant radiologists to provide highly relevant, high quality, high yield revision notes.   Key Points   Chapters mirror the structure of the exam: chest & cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and trauma, gastrointestinal & hepatobiliary, paediatrics, genitourinary, gynaecology & breast, and neuroradiology/head & neck Only essential facts are presented and are based entirely upon past questions from the exam Each revision topic is presented in a concise manner and exhaustive lists of differential diagnoses have been distilled into those conditions most often tested

In the hands of a skilled operator, ultrasound scanning is a simple and easy procedure. However, reaching that level of proficiency can be a long and tedious process. Commended by the British Medical Association, Practical Ultrasound, Second Edition focuses on the scans regularly encountered in a busy ultrasound department and provides everything practitioners need to know to become competent and skilled in scanning. See What's New in the Second Edition: *New chapters on breast, musculoskeletal, and FAST (focused assessment with sonography in trauma) ultrasonography *Revisions to original chapters incorporating up-to-date techniques and protocols Beginning with the general principles of ultrasound scanning and a guide to using the ultrasound machine, the book provides step-by-step instructions on how to perform scans supplemented by high-quality images and handy tips. Organized according to anatomical site, the chapters include a review section on useful anatomy, scan protocol presented step by step, and a section on common pathology. Maintaining the popular format of the previous edition, each chapter contains examples of common and clinically relevant pathologies and notes on the salient features of these conditions. The authors' precise approach puts an immense amount of knowledge within easy reach, making it an ideal aid for learning the practicalities of ultrasound.

The optimal use of magnetic resonance imaging poses a constant challenge as the technology is continually and rapidly advancing. This leaves the MR practitioner, beginner or experienced, in constant need of up-to-date, easily read and well illustrated material presenting the clinical constellation of pathologies as seen by an MRI scanner in such an effective way. MRI of the Whole Body sets out to educate trainee and experienced radiologists, radiographers and clinicians regarding key sequences for optimal imaging of common pathologies, with simple explanations on the choice of a particular MR sequence. The authors present typical and representative examples with relevant clinical and imaging features to assist a better understanding of these commonly encountered conditions. Every unit begins with a quick anatomy review, and each case is described in a standardised format with a clinical background, key sequences, imaging features, and practical hints as to close differentials and ways to distinguish between them. A text of this nature is essential for all MR practitioners whatever their background: medical, technical or scientific. Key features: First of its kind as no other book covers all body systems in one volume with demonstration of all key imaging sequences in the commonly diagnosed pathologies Up-to-date sequences described with reasons for choosing a particular sequence for a particular case Simplified relevant MR anatomy preceding each unit Clear high resolution images with appropriate legends Practical hints and tips section included for each pathology - close differentials and what to do next Written in a simple, lucid format and accompanied by typical illustrations to each case MRI of the Whole Body is an essential guide to understanding the 'what's, 'why's and 'how's of applied MR. It will be of particular value to trainee and practicing radiologists, as well as MR radiographers and radiography students.

I LOVE TAYLOR MEAD. Taylor Mead quotes via phone calls with John Edward Heys 2000 - 2011. 21 rare photos of Taylor between 1973 - 2011.

15 Columns Taylor Mead wrote for the first Gay Newspaper in New York City in 1969 and 1970. A rare collection scanned from the original including pictures and visuals. John Edward Heys: "When GAY POWER actually became a reality, I asked Taylor if he would consider contributing a bi-weekly column of his poetry, writings, anything he wished with an accompanying visual. He simply said: 'sure ' Not only was he loyal and consistent for over fifteen issues, but he was really the catalyst in my meeting so many brilliant artists, talents and stars who became part of the GAY POWER family. Taylor guided me on this journey in many ways. Wherever his travels took him, he unfailingly sent in his column and a typical Taylor photo or visual accompaniment."
