Diagnostic Radiology

DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH IN RADIOLOGY The experience of the most eminent teachers in the country is that no topic has been covered in its entirety in any book thus become difficult for the postgraduates and residents to find all about one single topic at one place in a concise form. Hence it was perceived to have a book containing some important and interesting topics. The book entitled ‘Diagnostic Approach in Radiology’ contains topics, which are important, useful in day-to-day practice as well to postgraduates and residents. All chapters have been provided with photographs, tables so as to explain the topic in most plausible manner. The book will definitely find its place on the table and shelves of Practitioners, General Physicians, Practising Radiologists, Residents and Postgraduate students of MD; DNB and DMRD. This is an attempt to cover some of the topics and if acceptable to readers, further topic will be added in subsequent editions.
