Brant and Helms’ Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology 5th edition

This fifth edition of Brant and Helms’ Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology contains significantly expanded and revised sections dedicated to breast radiology, cardiac imaging, vascular/interventional radiology, pediatric radiology, and nuclear medicine that reflect the growing fund of knowledge in these subspecialties and their increased importance in radiology resident curricula. We are fortunate to have six new section editors who have contributed their expertise to this new edition and have invited contributions from many recently trained radiologists in creating an updated version of core material. D r. Brandi T. Nicholson, a breast radiologist and Associate Residency Program Director for the diagnostic residency program at the University of Virginia Health System has created a section that covers screening, diagnostic, and interventional breast radiology. D r . Seth Kligerman, Section Chief of Cardiothoracic Imaging at the University of California, San Diego, shares his knowledge and experience in cardiovascular imaging in a significantly expanded Cardiac section. The Vascular and Interventional Radiology section, edited by Drs. Akhilesh Sista of NYU Langone Medical Center and Juan Camacho of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York provides a thorough introduction to the spectrum of image-guided vascular and nonvascular interventions including the interventional treatment of hepatic malignancies. Drs. Alan Brody and Andrew Trout of the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center have significantly revised the section on Pediatric Radiology. The Nuclear Medicine section, edited by Dr. Brett J. Mollard of Diagnostic Imaging Northwest, is completely revised with a more condensed review of common nuclear medicine topics.
