Radiology Text Books
I am frequently asked about radiology textbooks that would be suitable for the chiropractic office. Here is my list of favorites. Get out the credit cards!
Did I leave any out? Probably. If you have questions on specific texts contact me at imcleandc@aol.com.
These first 4 are an absolute must!
1. Clinical Imaging: With Skeletal, Chest, and
Abdomen Pattern Differentials
By Dennis M. Marchiori, DC, MS,
I'm biased…I admit it, but I am particuarly proud of this
text representing the work of DACBRs and medical radiologists. This is a goldmine of information for
chiropractic students and practitioners. This comprehensive text covers
skeletal, chest, abdomen, brain and spinal cord imaging in a format that
emphasizes plain film radiography and integrates it with MRI and CT. Dr.
Marchiori use a unique pattern approach to understanding imaging diagnosis
combined with detailed descriptions of disease entities found in more
traditional textbooks. The pattern approach helps the reader transition from
image to differential diagnosis, by learning to recognize patterns of
abnormality and then developing a list of possible diagnoses.
