In recent decades imaging has proved one of the most rapidly expanding areas of medicine. The present day trainees entering radiology are no longer trained by radiologists who cover and are well informed on most aspects of their specialty as was the case with previous generations. Instead they encounter a confusing array of subspecialists divided both by systems and by techniques. The system specialists include neuroradiologists. vascular radiologists. gastrointestinal radiologists. chest radiologists. and skeletal radiologists. Technique specialists include experts in nuclear medicine. ultrasound. computed tomography and magnetic resonance. and there are subspecialists in both groups. not to mention others like pediatric radiologists who fit into neither classification. It is our experience that this plethora of experts each with his own individual approach is bewildering and intimidating to the novice radiologist. The numerous monographs on individual subjects and tech niques and the large textbooks so valuable to the more advanced radiologist are also confusing and unhelp ful to the new recruit. It was for these reasons that we decided to embark on this new Short Textbook. The aim was to produce a concise and integrated volume which could provide the beginner with a balanced and realistic view of the true place of different imaging techniques in current practice. Details of technique are generally excluded; most will be inevitably absorbed with increasing practical experience. The emphasis throughout is on clinical usage. and the relative and often changing importance of different methods in specific clinical contexts.

This book is tailored for the medical undergraduate and aims to encapsulate the relatively restricted coverage of radiology that medical students need to know, while at the same time incorporating all new modalities. David Sutton also wrote Textbook of Radiology and Imaging.

Radiology and Imaging for Medical Students

Medicine

X-rays are no longer the only imaging methods used in contemporary radiology departments. Medical students are now faced with a range of complex and sophisticated machinery - radioisotopes, ultrasound, CT and MRI are all used to demonstrate human anatomy and pathology affecting internal organs. Students don't have to understand in depth the workings and techniques involved in these imaging methods. The purpose of this book is to demystify and familiarise the techniques enough for them to understand the rationale behind selection of a given method in clinical practice. This short textbook explains in the simplest terms the basic technical and physical principles of apparatus, so the student is no longer intimidated by the machinery. It also shows how the different methods are selected and used in clinical practice to demonstrate the internal organs and their diseases. This is done system by system (chest, heart, central nervous system, etc) - the approach most familiar to medical students. All students need to be familiar with the latest imaging techniques. This textbook covers them simply, concentrating on the now common newest techniques - CT, MRI and ultrasound. It renders the machinery less intimidating to medical students, while not confusing them with technical detail. It is written by one of the top radiologists in the country. It is illustrated with a superb collection of images showing the most common conditions likely to be encountered by medical students.

A detailed study of the Syrian and Lebanon campaign of World War II. In June 1941, Australian, British, Indian, and Free French forces invaded the Vichy French-controlled Mandate of Syria and Lebanon. They were outnumbered, and faced an enemy that had more artillery, tanks, and aircraft. They fought in rocky, mountainous terrain, through barren valleys and across swollen rivers, and soon after the initial advance faced a powerful Vichy French counterattack on key strategic positions. Despite these difficulties, the Allies prevailed, and in doing so ensured that the territory did not fall into German or pro-German hands, and thus provide a springboard from which Axis forces could attack British oil interests in Iraq, or the key territory of Palestine. This book examines the high military and political strategy that lay behind the campaign, as well as the experiences and hardships as endured by the men on the ground. The battles in Syria and Lebanon were complex actions, often at the battalion level or below, and this work uses extensive war diaries and records available to make sense of the actions and examine how they affected the wider campaign.

Part DIY guide, part scrapbook, Cigar Box Guitars takes you behind the music to get a glimpse into the faces, places, and workshops of the cigar box revolution! <ul>
<li>
Step-by-step projects to building your own cigar box guitar</li> <li>
In-depth profiles of builders and performers like Shane Speal, Donald "Boz" Bostwick, and Mike Orr</li> <li>
Chronicle of the modern revival of the cigar box guitar, with information about its roots, influential personalities, and cultural trends</li> <li>
Stunning galleries of historic and contemporary instruments to inspire you</li> </ul>
The incredible cigar box guitar has never been more popular, and now you can learn to make and enjoy your own! You don't need to spend a lot of money and you don't need to have a shop full of tools. All you need to do is follow the author's step-by-step instructions for making three different styles of guitar. They're fun (some would say addictive) to build and even more fun to play! The 3 guitars that can be made with this book are: <ul>
<li>
Simple Fretless Acoustic Guitar: A simple build with the minimum number of components. It's a three string acoustic instrument built from a paper covered box and played with a slide. It has burned-in fret lines, but no real frets.</li> <li>
Fretted Three-String with Piezo Pickup: This project uses a nicer cigar box and has a more decorative headstock. It also has real metal frets and three strings. In addition, this one incorporates a very simple piezo pickup so it can be played through an amplifier. It is slightly more complex in woodworking terms and involves a bit of wiring and soldering.</li> <li>
Six-String Electric Guitar: This one would be built from a cigar box and a pre-fabbed six-string guitar neck. It would use commercial pickups and volume/tone controls. Picture it as a tribute to the Fender Telecaster! It involves more complicated woodworking and much more wiring/soldering, as well as filling much of the box with wood to support the tension of six steel strings.</li> </ul>
More than just a how-to guide, this book chronicles the modern revival of the cigar box guitar. You'll learn a bit about its roots and discover the influential personalities who are changing the musical landscape with their playable art. Author David Sutton, a professional photographer and woodworking enthusiast, introduces you to the culture and faces of this self-expressive movement with in-depth profiles and photographic portraits of fascinating builders and performers. Inside Cigar Box Guitars, you'll find step-by-step instructions for making three different guitars, as well as several photographic galleries of historic and contemporary instruments to inspire you to create your own instrument that will be admired by everyone who sees and hears it. Cigar Box Guitars is a perfect opportunity to put a real American tradition in your own hands!
