"BEST" good description September 23, 2009
Susan W. Hawn (GA, USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been looking for a text like this for a long time. Three sections comprised of: 1/Diagnostic imaging 2/Lab values and interpretations of results 3/Disease and disorders algorithms
Not only does it have up-to-date, detailed, comprehensive imaging recommendations but it also explains newer technology. The algorithms for diseases and disorders are some of the best I have seen. They include recommended diagnostic imaging and lab evaluations that a lot of texts leave out.
