Index of Medical Imaging

The Index of Medical Imaging is the must–have companion for diagnostic radiography students and newly qualified imaging practitioners, designed to allow easy access to descriptions and discussions of many aspects of medical imaging such as radiographic projections, positioning, procedures and clinical examinations.
The Index consists of multiple lists, tables and discussions linked to (amongst others) radiography, CT, MRI and components such as radiological contrast agents, responses to contrast reactions and MRI safety. There is a glossary of terms and definitions plus a list of abbreviations that may be encountered within radiology. Tables are given that suggest the order and type of examination that should be performed as defined by the UK Royal College of Radiologists.

Nota biograficzna:
Jonathan McConnell will be the lead author. He has experience of writing for Blackwell Publishing on two occ asions. He co–edited ‘Interpreting Trauma Radiographs’ with Eyres and Nightingale, and contributed to “Paediatric Radiography’ by Hardy and Boynes. He has also written for Carver and Carver’s ‘Medical Imaging, Techniques, Reflection and Evaluation’ published by Churchill Livingstone. He has several other publications via peer reviewed journals and is a member of the editorial board of ‘Radiography’ the UK peer reviewed journal. He has taught at the University of Bradford, held a Principal Lectureship with St Martin’s College and was Head of Department in Christchurch, New Zealand. Currently he holds a Senior Lectureship at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. Before moving into academia he had 11 years of clinical practice culminating in a position of reporting Radiographer and Clinical Tutor at the Leeds General Infirmary.
Ruth Druva currently holds a lectureship at Monash University. She has over 25 years of clinical experience and has been involved with students from a radiographic and complementary imaging background for 20 years. She is respected by her peers and was responsible for the initiation and growth of the Victorian Eastern Health’s hospital group, professional development programme. Other than a general radiographic experience Ruth has focused on mammography and women’s health practice issues and holds postgraduate qualifications in vocational education. Her significant experience operating as a solo practitioner has given her the tools to contribute impressively to this text.
