Main description:

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with "on the go", at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.

Highly structured, bite-size content helps novices combat the "fear factor" associated with day to day clinical training, and provides "just enough" for a new rotation.

Key Features

Highly affordable price and convenient pocket size format - fits in back pocket!
Logical, sequential content: the first principles of MSK imaging, then a guide to understanding a normal image and the building blocks of an abnormal image, before describing specific clinical disorders
Clinical disorders are illustrated by high quality radiographs, ultrasounds, CTs and MRIs, with brief accompanying text that clearly identifies the defining features of the image
Focuses on the conditions that medical students, junior doctors and trainees are most likely to see and be tested on
