Radiological Reporting in Clinical Practice

Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 140
Publication Date: 2008-01-04
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 8847006813
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9788847006812
Binding: Paperback

Product Description:
Due to the diverse diagnostic imaging techniques available (x-ray/CT, Magnetic Resonance, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasonography) radiologic examinations are made of an enormous amount of images, which means that the elements to be described and interpreted by the radiologist are sometimes exorbitant. Furthermore, the expectations of the population and the ones of the physicians requiring examinations are growing, so that besides patients, also so-called clients (i.e., supposed healthy people) flow into everyday clinical practice of a radiology department, based on disease prevention/screening programs.
