Pregnancy and Work in Diagnostic Imaging
This book presents the report of a joint working party of the Royal College of Radiologists and the British Institute of Radiology into the possible harmful effects to the foetus of occupational exposure of pregnant staff working in departments of clinical radiology, arguing that these are minimized if safety procedures are observed.
The History of Radiology
The History of Radiology is an authoritative and engaging history of medical developments within radiology which will appeal to a wide audience including radiologists, medical physicists, medical historians, radiographers, medical students and doctors.
Godfrey Hounsfield
A mild-mannered, pleasant but determined genius, Godfrey Hounsfield made a great breakthrough in medical imaging CT scans in 1972. His revolutionary method led to fast, pain-free, and accurate diagnosis of conditions of the human brain, and today helps to bring health benefits to people all over the world. Blood clots caused by strokes, falls, or motor accidents are diagnosed and treated before causing irreversible damage. Tumours are located and assessed without exploratory surgery. The man who pioneered this had no medical training. Godfrey Hounsfield left school with no qualifications, and he is one of the few Nobel laureates not to have learnt their skills at university. He was mostly self-taught and he thought in unusual ways, using pictures, analogies, and intuition. He was a peaceful man, but his wartime years in the RAF, during which he became a radar instructor, were a major turning point, and this boy from a farm went on to change the world.
Musculoskeletal Imaging
Diseases of the joints and surrounding tissues cannot be visualised without the help of imaging techniques. These range from x-rays (which have been available for over 100 years) to the highly sophisticated magnetic resonance imaging scanning. The variety of imaging techniques and indeed the quality of these images has improved radically in the past decade and this book attempts to capture the way in which rheumatologists and their colleagues can use a wide variety of techniques to analyse musculoskeletal diseases which are known to exist. This handbook provides the reader with an insight into both which imaging techniques should be applied to particular clinical problems and how the results can be used to determine the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions. It is extensively illustrated with examples of the various imaging techniques and joints to aid understanding, and is organised by anatomical region and specific musculoskeletal disorder to allow easy access to information.

Thoracic Imaging
Imaging tests are integral to the management of patients with suspected lung disease. Staggering advances in radiological technology have been associated with an ever-increasing complexity, and so keeping up with terminology, understanding the significance of basic radiological signs, and appreciating the prognostic impact of findings on imaging tests, is not an easy undertaking for the physician. Until now, there has been a lack of practical, pocket-sized, but authoritative texts dealing principally with the imaging features of pulmonary disease. Covering the essential elements of pulmonary imaging in a concise and digestible format, Thoracic Imaging deals with both the key principles of thoracic imaging, including a separate section on the common radiological terms used to describe pulmonary pathology, and the principal pathological compartments that are affected in specific disease processes. It is packed with over 600 high quality illustrations to highlight the important radiological features in the different diseases, with an emphasis on chest radiography (CXR) and computed tomography (CT) to mirror routine clinical practice.
Radiation Shielding for Diagnostic Radiology
The first edition of this book was published in 2000 and it has become the standard for shielding design in the UK. The second edition is designed to be a compendium of information for radiation protection physicists involved in specification of shielding requirements for X-Ray facilities.
FRCR Physics Notes
Comprehensive medical imaging physics notes aimed at those sitting the first FRCR physics exam in the UK and covering the scope of the Royal College of Radiologists syllabus. Written by Radiologists, the notes are concise and clearly organised with 100's of beautiful diagrams to aid understanding. The notes cover all of radiology physics, including basic science, x-ray imaging, CT, ultrasound, MRI, molecular imaging, and radiation dosimetry, protection and legislation. Although aimed at UK radiology trainees, it is also suitable for international residents taking similar examinations, postgraduate medical physics students and radiographers. The notes provide an excellent overview for anyone ...
