This easy-to-understand guide in the highly respected Clark's stable of diagnostic imaging texts is an invaluable tool for student and qualified radiographers, providing practical advice and instruction on how to formulate a comment following image evaluation of musculoskeletal X-rays. Covering both trauma and pathology of the musculoskeletal system, the reader can find essential information quickly, with content including key points and take-home messages throughout.
