Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Interpreting X-ray images correctly is essential for diagnostic radiographers, as well as a widely used skill for emergency department doctors, nurse practitioners, and many other healthcare professions. This new title provides a systematic, methodical approach to musculoskeletal image interpretation and its role in the evaluation and treatment of injury.

A companion to the eighth edition of Bones and Joints, this book covers the basic principles for interpreting images and then follows a simple regional approach to common radiographic projections. It goes on to consider common and important fracture patterns and other injuries related to that region, as well as the differences between normal and abnormal images.

Image Interpretation is an ideal learning guide for undergraduates, those transitioning to graduate roles or clinical practice, and other healthcare professionals wanting to supplement their training.

• User-friendly format: readers will be able to use the text to seamlessly explore the concepts between normal anatomy and abnormal radiographic appearances
• Systematic approach provided for each common radiographic projection
• Online case studies for readers to test and apply their clinical knowledge
• Key important learning points (‘Insights’)
• Annotated radiographic images and examples to support learning

Informazioni sull?autore

James Harcus qualified as a Diagnostic Radiographer from the University of Leeds in 2002 and worked at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as a radiographer across a range of specialities. In 2004 he began training in musculoskeletal image interpretation (reporting) at University of Bradford. After leaving Leeds in 2007 he took up a post in a large general practice surgery where he ran a small imaging service consisting of X-ray and ultrasound and during this time he completed his MSc in chest and abdominal image interpretation (reporting) and also his postgraduate certificate in musculoskeletal ultrasound back at the University of Leeds. After being a visiting and associate lecturer for a number of years, in 2012 he took up an academic post as a lecturer, and subsequently Senior Lecturer, at Sheffield Hallam University and became a fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2014. In 2018 he helped establish the UK's first clinical academy for reporting radiographers. In December 2018 he moved to the University of Leeds as a lecturer in Diagnostic Imaging, teaching on both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. He has a special focus on teaching skeletal anatomy which is ideal for this book.
