Up-to-date comprehensive medical imaging physics notes for radiologistsWritten by two UK Radiologists, these notes are concise and clearly organised covering all aspects of radiology physics with 100's of beautiful diagrams to aid understanding and simplify even the most complicated concepts.This superb package is suited to those sitting the first FRCR physics examination in the UK and covers the scope of the Royal College of Radiologists syllabus. 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 interested in the physics of radiology or just refreshing their knowledge.The notes cover all of radiology physics, including: Basic scienceX-ray imagingCT imagingUltrasound imagingMR imaging (MRI) Molecular imagingRadiation dosimetry, protection and legislationThis third edition includes updates to reflect new legislation and many new illustrations, added sections, and removal of content no longer relevant to the FRCR physics exam. This edition has gone through strict critique and evaluation by physicists and other specialists to provide an accurate, understandable and up-to-date resource. The book summarises and pulls together content from the FRCR Physics Notes at Radiology Cafe and delivers it as a paperback or eBook for you to keep and read anytime.There are 7 main chapters, which are further subdivided into 60 sub-chapters so topics are easy to find, and a comprehensive appendix and index have been included at the back of the book.

Chest X-rays for Medical Students offers a fresh analytical approach to identifying chest abnormalities, helping medical students, junior doctors, and nurses understand the underlying physics and basic anatomical and pathological details of X-ray images of the chest. The authors provide a memorable framework for analysing and presenting chest radiographs, with each radiograph appearing twice in a side-by-side comparison, one as seen in a clinical setting and the second highlighting the pathology. This new second edition includes significant revisions, improved annotations of X-rays, expanded pathologies, and numerous additional high-quality images. A comprehensive one-stop guide to learning chest radiograph interpretation, this book: Aligns with the latest Royal College of Radiologists’ Undergraduate Radiology CurriculumOffers guidance on how to formulate normal findingsFeatures self-assessment tests, presentation exercises, and varied examplesIncludes sections on radiograph quality X-ray hazards and precautions Chest X-rays for Medical Students is an ideal study guide and clinical reference for any medical student, junior doctor, nurse or radiographer.

At what level do we disagree? Since Jeremy Corbyn became Labour leader this has been a central question for the two sides of the left. There is constant discussion of ‘splits’, ‘coups’ and ‘purges’. Anger and impotence are felt on both sides. Everyone seems to hate each other, but no one can agree on why. Writing from a centre-left perspective, Chris Clarke points to where the guts of the dispute lie. He argues that disagreements come down to narrative, not core values. Belief or otherwise in the central myths which drive left populism – conflict, insurgency and decline – represents the true dividing line between pro- and anti-Corbyn factions. Combative but constructive, Warring Fictions makes the case for pluralism and questions the premise of Corbynism. Rather than a call for ‘faux harmony’, it’s an attempt to break the deadlock – providing a route-map for the centre left, an explanation to the far left, and the foundations for a genuine debate between the two.

Highly Commended at the British Medical Association Book Awards 2016Abdominal X-rays for Medical Students is a comprehensive resource offering guidance on reading, presenting and interpreting abdominal radiographs. Suitable for medical students, junior doctors, nurses and trainee radiographers, this brand new title is clearly illustrated using a unique colour overlay system to present the main pathologies and to highlight the abnormalities in abdomen x-rays. Abdominal X-rays for Medical Students: Covers the key knowledge and skills necessary for practical useProvides an effective and memorable way to analyse and present abdominal radiographs - the unique 'ABCDE' system as developed by the authorsPresents each radiograph twice, side by side: the first as seen in the clinical setting, and the second with the pathology clearly highlightedIncludes self-assessment to test knowledge and presentation technique With a systematic approach covering both the analysis of radiographs and next steps mirroring the clinical setting and context, Abdominal X-rays for Medical Students is a succinct and up-to-date overview of the principles and practice of this important topic.
