books about: diagnostics     books:       DSM-IV-TR Casebook: A Learning Companion to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth ...13 reviews Robert L. Spitzer American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2002 Great teaching aid I teach High School Psychology and this book is very useful as a practical/interpretive guide to the raw definitions of various mental disorders as described in the DSM-IV. If using this in the classroom, make sure to preview each "case study" because some are difficult for novices to relate to the diagnoses. Overall it is a very approachable book and a necessary companion to the DSM-IV.             Radiography PREP : Program Review and Exam Preparation13 reviews D.A. Saia McGraw-Hill Professional, 2003 Life Saver This book helped me pass the ARRT Exam. I haven't been in school for a couple of years...plus I went to school overseas. I had the old version of this book but I needed to buy the newer one. It lived up to it's title "Radiography PREP". This book together with the Lange Q&A - Radiography Examination were the only books I needed...now I'm a Registered RT.             Diagnostic Spelling Potential Test (Dspt)11 reviews John Arena Academic Therapy Publications, 1982 In the third grade my son was convinced he was retarded! Then I read this book and applied a few of the very simple exercises into his everyday routine. Last year he received his MFA in photography and experimental animated film from the California Institute of the Arts. He now has a job at USC and is excited that one of the benefits it offers is free classes. He wants to pursue a degree in Civil Engineering! Most importantly he is happy and proud of ...             MRI in Practice25 reviews Catherine Westbrook, Carolyn Kaut Blackwell Science, 1998 MRI Bible When I was training at the University of Pennsylvania this book was known as our "Bible". In short, it comprehensivly covers MRI from Atoms to Zipper artifacts. The book can be a little technical at times but unfortunatly, that's MRI for you. It does a great job at explaining the basic concepts of MRI and then building on those ideas to explain the more complex ones (K-Space headaches anyone?). A ...             Handbook of Evidence-Based Radiation Oncology15 reviews Springer, 2010 great quick reference This is a great book to have as a quick reference for major studies, staging, appropriate treatments.

I am fundamentally a cognitivist, and a rational-emotive one at that. Yet I found the PDM extremely enlightening and worthwhile, at least through the first 650 pages. Rather than approach the topic as "better or worse than the ...             Brain Imaging: Case Review Series10 reviews Laurie A. Loevner MD Mosby, 2008 It's good. I've been looking for such a book both in USA and China for a long time, and now I find it. It's good for integrating the differentiate diagnosis. However, if there are more new MR techniques (DTI,PWI,etc.), it will be better.             Electromyography and Neuromuscular Disorders: Clinical-Electrophysiologic Correlations, Textbook with CD-ROM12 reviews David C.

Very well organized.             CT Teaching Manual14 reviews Matthias Hofer Thieme, 2007 Good This is the best book that I have found when dealing with cross sectional anatomy and CT. The images are realistic and really do help when you are trying to identify them on the actual CT images. This book really does help and it also gives you some insite to scanning. Would absolutley recommend this book!!!             Rad Tech's Guide to MRI: Basic Physics, Instrumentation, and Quality Control (Rad Tech Series)7 reviews William Faulkner Wiley-Blackwell, 2001 I recommend this as a pocket book This is a great pocket book for a quick review.

In the ...             Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates7 reviews Edmund S. Cibas MD, Barbara S. Ducatman MD Saunders Ltd., 2003 great review book! I got this in lieu of the baby deMay for study for path boards. I think it's pretty good as a solid review for cytology as it covers pertinent general features of major organ systems. Pictures are super clean and very clear (some with even arrows!!) CONS: ok, here we go. Not every entity described has a coresponding picture. I hate that. If you go to the trouble writing about a certain tumor ...             Handbook of MRI Technique9 reviews Catherine Westbrook Blackwell Science Inc, 1994 Good Solution Building protocols for the MRI is not an easy job.This book represents the first step in order for the radiologist to understand the principles that he needs to take into consideration in order to perform examinations that reveal the pathology of the patients.             Art Therapy and Ad/Hd: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches8 reviews Diane Stein Safran Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2002 a therapist's guide for group work with children with AD/HD This is a very good resource for therapists working with children with AD/HD, families with AD/HD and adults with AD/HD.

I plan on suggesting this book to be required for the program.             Image-Guided Spine Intervention8 reviews Douglas S. Fenton, Leo F. Czervionke Saunders, 2002 Clearly Written, Excellent Text All medical texts should be this good. Each topic is discussed thoroughly, in understandable language. Jargon is held to a minimum. The illustrations, radiographs and photographs are clear, and on the appropriate page (something a LOT of texts don't seem capable of achieving), Highly recommended.             Physics in Nuclear Medicine7 reviews Simon R. Cherry, James Sorenson, ... Saunders, 2003 The "Standard text" for nuclear medicine physics "Sorenson and Phelps" is now "Cherry, Sorenson and Phelps." It is still the standard text for nuclear medicine physics, covering the topics well for the radiology resident, nuclear medicine resident or fellow, or a beginning medical physicist. While clearly (in my opinion) the best text in its field, I would suggest that the authors give future consideration for a companion CD ROM (as in many ...             The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner's Guide to the Diagnostic Process9 reviews Diana Weedman Molavi Springer, 2008 The best book for pathology residents!
