excellent
An excellent book for the medical student/intern going through this rotation, or junior resident as a fairly comprehensive introduction. You could get stuck into a Grainger or a Sutton, but it might overwhelm you:). This gives you a really nice overview of everything in an easy-to-read format, in plain english. The best part is that it's relatively short - you could probably get through it in 2 - 3 weeks; it is surprisingly thorough though! Highly recommended. Only gripes: spelling errors, some figure/numbering errors.

great choice for radiology rotations
"Great new student book of Radiology - all you need to know and fun to read on top of it all.

I used this textbook during my radiology rotation. It gives you a
comprehensive understanding of radiology. If you ever felt lost and helpless in the face of a complicated radiograph you will enjoy this book. Ittells you the basics of image analysis, the specifics for frequent and relevant clinical settings and some fun facts on top of that - the "rugger jersey spine" of osteomalacia, for example.
The phrasing of the book makes makes a real difference: This is no dead serious textbook to take you to sleep. Following a group of interns through their radiology rotation keeps the level of concentration high when other texts get boring.That is a real plus when learning in the evening after a long day in the hospital.The illustrations are of high quality. The price is right.

To sum it up: This book is a solid introduction to radiology and a great choice for radiology rotations." ... Read more

Extrait : Robert Kellogg Crane, né le 20 décembre 1919 à Palmyra dans le New Jersey, est un biochimiste américain surtout connu pour sa découverte du co-transport sodium-glucose. Robert Kellogg Crane est le fils de Wilbur Fiske Crane, architecte et ingénieur, et de Marie Elisabeth Crane. Il est le petit-fils de Wilbur Crane, un des frères de Stephen Crane. Il a reçu un baccalauréat en sciences de Washington College en 1942. Après avoir servi dans la Marine pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Crane a étudié la biochimie avec Eric Ball à Harvard de 1946 à 1949, puis a passé un an avec Fritz Lipmann à la Harvard Medical School, et a reçu un Ph.D. en sciences médicales en 1950.

Regehr is a Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School's Department of Neurobiology. Born in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, Canada, Regehr attended college in Canada, then received his Ph.D. at Caltech in applied physics with David Rutledge. His doctorate was at the interface between neuroscience and electrical engingeering. He subsequently did two postdoctors. Regehr cites his younger brother, Chris Regehr, as a guiding influence and source of inspiration. Regehr's laboratory studies the implication of calcium Ca as it affects synaptic strength. Neurons communicate with one another via synapses. Regehr was one of the first to use fluorescent imaging to see the synaptic activity occurring in the brain. A dye alters the fluorenscence properties when attached to calcium, and changes in intracellular calcium are associated with neuronal activity (firing of action potentials). Using fluorescence-microscopy techniques, calcium levels are detected, and therefore the influx of calcium in the presynaptic neuron. Calcium processes affect the release of neurotransmitter from the axon terminal. (Occasionally this happens in reverse). Chemical synapses are characterized ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=20835185 ... Read more
