Following the development of new technological procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, imaging has become increasingly invasive, and with that comes a wider range of complications. This volume covers all complications seen in diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, from general problems such as parenteral contrast agents, the pregnant patient and resuscitation, to specifics associated with particular procedures in the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, and genitourinary systems. Adult and paediatric problems are equally covered. Risk identification and management, quality assurance and legal aspects are also discussed. The third edition has been enlarged by about 30%, with all chapters assiduously revised and several chapters added (lasers, infections, thrombolytic therapy, quality assurance, and interventional GI and neuroradiology). About 30 of the contributors are new and reflect the top names in radiology. A new format provides for three major sections: General Considerations, Organ Systems, and Risk Identification and Management.

As the ideal introductory textbook for medical students, junior doctors, trainee radiologists, and practising clinicians, this new edition of Diagnostic Imaging explains the principles of interpretation of all forms of imaging, offering a balanced account of all the modalities available, explaining each technique and when to use it. Organised by body system and covering all anatomical regions, Armstrong, Wastie and Rockall: explain how to interpret images provide guidelines for interpreting images discuss common diseases and the signs that can be seen using each imaging modality illustrate clinical problems with normal and abnormal images assist diagnosis by covering normal images as well as those for specific disorders show all imaging modalities used in a clinical context The authors cover use of plain film, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide imaging and interventional radiology, with high quality illustrations and images.
