This resource for students and health professionals illustrates how various parts of the body appear in different types of radiographic images. Following a brief overview of diagnostic imaging equipment and techniques are more than 265 radiographic images and line drawings. A unique feature of the seventh edition is that copies of the line drawings may be placed as transparent overlays on the corresponding images for direct identification of the anatomical structures. Wicke is director of the Radiologic Institute at Rudolfiner Hospital in Vienna. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
