“The concepts are very clearly explained, including some of the more difficult physical principles. The case selection is very good and allows a solid explanation of tricky cases.” Final year student, Oxford University
Editorial Reviews
Review
I would love to have had this book when I started my clinical years at medical school. It explains basic physics and imaging concepts well and is a good revision aid. I particularly like the relevant example cases and the self-test section. I would highly recommend this book to medical students in their clinical years. –Dr Sian Loe – Foundation Year Doctor – John Radcliffe Hospital – Oxford UK
