This is a succinct single-volume work covering the whole field of diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology that gives basic radiological knowledge required in the initial stages of training. The greater use of imaging by clinicians, the introduction of new imaging modalities and the wide acceptance of interventional radiology has greatly increased the scope and importance of radiology.

Each chapter describes the use of various imaging modalities and then gives an account of the radiological changes in disease enumerating the likely diagnosis and signs rather than producing encyclopaedic lists. The important role of interventional radiology is brought to the fore.
