To have fun in learning the theoretical basis of imaging and the interpretation of radiographs and other modalities, in the context of clinical examina tion and findings, this is the book for you. The basics of imaging are described using analogies from daily life to make them as understandable and memorable as possible. The material of radiology is described using actual cases; the most common differential diagnoses are presented. A great amount of image material supports the learning process. A storyline runs through the book: four students in their final year of medical school are involved in active discussion of the cases, so that the reader also feels a part of the diagnostic process. System requirements: World Wide Web browser, internet connectivity, Adobe Acrobat reader. Mode of access: World Wide Web.
