Summary
The A-to-Z of Abdominal Radiology is a valuable addition to the A-to-Z of Radiology series, continuing the theme of concise introductions to specific fields of radiology. The text is concisely laid out, following a similar format to the other title in this series, using a bullet point format to allow rapid assimilation of relevant facts. The text is richly illustrated with images from modern scanners.
The book will be a useful aid to medical students, radiographers, surgical trainees, physicians and emergency doctors who wish to gain a greater understanding of abdominal and pelvic imaging and how it can improve their clinical practice. Radiology trainees will also find this a helpful aide-mémoire to consolidate their knowledge.
