The streamlined, easy-reading text is supported with charts and diagrams of target sites for various entities, with radiographs, CT and MRI scans. Other features new to this edition include a totally rewritten chapter on Specialized Diagnostic Imaging (Chapter 6) including MRI, CT, Myelography, CT Myelography, Nuclear Medicine (Bone Scans) and Discography.
