The warm response from residents and practicing radiologists to the first four editions has been extremely gratifying. To reflect trends in diagnostic imaging, yet maintain the single-volume format, some sections on plain radiography have been eliminated to make room for new sections dealing with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Whenever appropriate, the lists of differential diagnoses from previous editions have been updated and new illustrations added.
This expanded volume will be even more successful than its predecessors in meeting the goal of providing a handy reference for practicing radiologists and residents faced with the increasingly complex daily challenge of interpreting radiographic examinations.
