A PRACTICAL RADIOLOGY HANDBOOK DEMYSTIFYING COMMON PATIENT QUESTIONS AND ISSUES

The book discusses many common issues which arise in daily radiology practice, but are not answered correctly in view of lack of knowledge. The book should serve all the practising radiologists and help them in daily practice. Postgraduate students/residents in radiology will also be greatly benefitted.

Book Description:

This is the first book of its kind in India and many parts of the world that directly addresses common issues that crop up virtually daily in our radiology practices, but often are not dealt with or answered correctly because of various myths and lack of current knowledge. This book tackles these “known unknowns” and demystifies issues related to radiation risk, usage of contrast media, contrast media reactions, pregnancy and radiation and contrast media, patient consent, patient rights, etc. Chapters have been primarily written by Dr Akshay Baheti and Dr Bhavin Jankharia, with contributions from Dr Aparna Katdare, Dr Sharad Maheshwari, Dr Milind Gune and Dr Samir Gandhi.
