A CT scan, or computed tomography scan, is a medical imaging procedure that uses computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of specific areas of the body, subsequently allowing clinicians to diagnose specific diseases and disorders.



The new edition of this book is a practical guide to the interpretation of CT images and differential diagnosis of diseases and lesions.



Divided into nine sections, the book presents numerous images with detailed descriptions illustrating disorders in different parts of the body – brain, spinal cord, ear and nose, neck, chest, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system.



The third edition has been fully revised to present radiologists and trainees with the latest advances in the field. The comprehensive text is enhanced by CT images, diagrams and tables to assist learning.
