Struggling to connect radiographic anatomy with real clinical decisions?

Most imaging references either overwhelm you with physics or jump straight to pattern recognition without explaining the disease mechanisms behind what you see on the screen.

This 2026 edition textbook closes that gap. Across 25 chapters, it takes you from the fundamentals of X-ray and CT image formation, MRI sequence selection, ultrasound and Doppler principles, and contrast pharmacology through a systematic approach to image interpretation and into every major subspecialty system, including chest, cardiac, abdominal, hepatobiliary, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, neuroimaging, spinal, head and neck, breast, obstetric, pediatric, and interventional radiology.

Every chapter is designed for both board-exam preparation and clinical practice, featuring:

Clinical pearls in every subchapter, distilled from real-world diagnostic reasoning.
Patient vignettes that walk through the decision points clinicians face at the workstation.
Rapid-review boxes for 10-second recall before exams or clinical rounds.
Drug-dosing snapshots covering contrast agents and periprocedural medications.
Red-flag boxes highlighting findings that require immediate management changes.
Two fully labeled clinical illustrations per chapter showing the relevant anatomy and pathology.

A companion video course featuring more than 100 curated tutorial videos extends the learning experience beyond the page. The videos are organized by chapter and can be accessed using the QR code printed in the final pages of the book.

Whether you are a radiology resident, medical student, radiologic technologist, or advanced practice clinician, this 2026 reference is designed to help you understand imaging interpretation in a way that finally connects anatomy, pathology, and clinical decision-making.
