All the X-rays are accompanied by a simple line diagram outlining where the abnormality is. Covers the full range of common radiological problems. Includes valuable advice on how to examine an X-ray. Assists the doctor in determining the nature of the abnormality. Points the clinician towards a possible differential diagnosis. Now presented in two-colour to enhance the appearance of the text.
