Product Description

This profusely illustrated text will provide trainee radiologists with a unique overview of normal anatomy as illustrated by the full range of modern radiological procedures. The theme throughout is not only to illustrate the appearance of normal anatomical features as visualised by radiology, but to provide a comprehensive text which describes, explains and evaluates the most current imaging practice for all the body systems and organs. Where necessary, the images are supplemented with line drawings, to illustrate essential anatomical features. This combination of a wealth of high-quality images fully supported by an authoritative text will give all radiologists an insight into normal anatomy, which is such a vital prerequisite for interpreting abnormal radiological images. The volume is specifically designed for trainee radiologists. It will be an essential illustrated text for those studying Part 1 of the examination of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists, and also for trainees elsewhere in the world studying for their specialist examinations in radiology.

Review
‘This book is first class in achieving its aim and although primarily intended for trainees in radiology, will be of value to many surgical trainees.’ British Journal of Surgery

‘The scope of this book is impressive … this textbook is notable for the wide range of coverage … excellent basic book that would be most useful for medical students and junior radiology trainees.’ Doody’s Health Sciences Book Review Journal

‘The text is readable, accurate and informative with contributions from an impressive number of well-known and respected radiologists … useful day-to-day reference aid for the trainee or the experienced radiologist … Radiographers studying for extended roles would also find this text a valuable reference aid.’ RAD Magazine

‘A beautiful and impressive textbook covering the normal anatomy of the human body from top to tail.’ Cambridge Medicine

Customer Reviews

Provides strong bases in Radiological Anatomy.
A very well organised and profusely illustrated text which provides information on anatomy as related to all the modalities of Diagnostic Radiology.
This profusely illustrated text will give junior residents in radiology the basic anatomy needed to form a solid foundation for a complete radiologist.
The book is meant For Resident preparing for part 1 of FRCR and, it is the best in the market for that reason. The other smaller and cheaper alternatives are nowhere near the quality and information provided in this book.
The only negative things about this book are its large price tag and its lack of mnemonics and tables for easy remembering.
However I still strongly recommend this book, as it is a must for every radiologist.

Good anatomical text
I think the other reviews are missing the point somewhat. This is not a radiological atlas - get yourself a Weir & Abrahams for that - it's an anatomy book with a radiological slant. In this respect it works very well. Any book that Harold Ellis is going to be contributing to will always be a worthwhile read too. It's quite heavily text based, which for what I wanted is perfect - you can't simply explain anatomy in pictures! It is a bit costly but so are most UK based publications. I'd rather pay a bit more than read a book written by some American "comedian" Medic - why do US medical books always have to contain bad jokes?.

Good book for initial prep for the FRCR 1
Excellent and well presented book. The amount of information in the text is great. The line diagrams that go along with the images could have been better. Or the various structures could have been marked right on the image itself! Other than this, I found the book very satisfactory. A must for every candidate appearing for the first FRCR.
