Pocket Guide to POCUS: Point-Of-Care Tips for Point-of-Care Ultrasound by
A unique pocket guide to the use of ultrasound at the point of care Lately, there has been an enormous amount of interest in the use of ultrasound for both procedural and diagnostic guidance at the point of care. Although this type of instruction can be found in some textbooks, they are heavy, dense, and written for the classroom, not real-world clinical situations. Pocket Guide to POCUS is the portable, quick-hit alternative. Pocket Guide to POCUS provides trainees with the tips and reminders they may need at the point of care. Things such as what images to acquire, and how to get them, or a quick glance at pathology in comparison to a normal image. For learners at all levels, this pocket guide will hopefully reduce their fear of scanning, while preventing some of the more common pitfalls the authors have observed over their more than 50 cumulative years' experience. Each chapter of the book is divided into four sections: *Key Images *Acquisition Tips *Interpretation and Pitfalls *Examples of Pathology This information is conveniently located on cards that can be removed from the book and brought with you to the bedside. You can take notes on the cards, check off the scans that you've done, and of course, refer to them in order to provide your patients with the best care possible.

Fundamentals of Body MRI, 3rd ed. by
We wrote this book rebelling against several trends in medical literature—a tendency to write exclusively in the passive tense, a predilection for the encyclopedic method, a distaste for visual aids (e.g., diagrams, tables), and an aversion to the basic science behind the scenes of our clinical practice. Some of these trends are easier to avoid than others. Tackling the science of body MRI and composing a basic introduction to MRI physics were the most difficult. Once you pull at the thread, there is no end to the unraveling; in MRI physics, each of the many abstract concepts is predicated on multiple others, inviting an endless series of interconnected explanations, leading one to feel like an inhabitant in the M. C. Escher lithograph, “Relativity” (depicting a network of impossibly interconnected staircases constructed in different dimensions). We sacrificed comprehensiveness in this regard for a concise, common-sense approach to MRI physics and introductory concepts in Chapter 1 with the liberal use of visual aids and sparing use of abstract concepts and equations.
In the clinical chapters ( Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8, Chapter 9, Chapter 10, Chapter 11 ), we resisted the encyclopedic style in favor of a reader-oriented approach, where possible. Most of the text is arranged by the imaging appearance, which is more in sync with the reader’s perspective than the encyclopedic style of organizing by disease entity. This format more closely mirrors the reader’s experience at the workstation, providing a useful reference for a problematic case or imaging pattern and facilitating differential diagnoses. Hopefully, relative abstention from the passive tense further enhances the readability of this text.
In writing a “fundamentals” text, our goal was to provide a stepping stone to a comfort level with body MRI—both technically and clinically. Our intent was to provide in-depth, useful information and commentary on the bread-and-butter material accounting for most of what is seen in clinical practice, deferring to the more advanced applications and exotic diseases. Because the scope of routine body MRI work has expanded since the first and second editions, a number of additional topics were added and updated, including prostate, genitourinary, elastography, HCC imaging, ovarian imaging, and gastrointestinal MRI.
We hope that the third edition addresses unmet needs that have developed in the aftermath of the release of the first and second editions. While it aspires to cover more material than its predecessor, we hope this book retains its identity as a “fundamentals” text and provides a good starting point for understanding a very complex topic with which we’ve grappling for over a decade.

Diagnostic Ultrasound, 6th ed. by
As in previous editions, we have included experts in the field to share their authoritative experience. Given the nature of ultrasound practice, which in radiology departments is moving toward a more body imaging/organ-based approach, this edition has been expanded to include more correlative imaging, and thus is a substantial update from the previous versions. We have also greatly expanded our video library to enable real-time examples of anatomy and pathology.
Previous editions have been very well accepted as reference textbooks and have been the commonly used reference in ultrasound education and practices worldwide. The text and references have all been updated and are available online. We are pleased to provide over 2,300 images, with 657 videos of ultrasound anatomy and pathology that complement the static images in the book. The display of real-time ultrasound has helped to capture those areas of anatomy that are difficult to depict on a still image. The video sweeps also allow a more complete depiction of pathology, and the relationship of pathology to surrounding anatomy.

Anatomy for Diagnostic Imaging, 4th ed. by
Since the first edition 30 years ago, there has been an explosion in imaging, both anatomic and functional. Interventional radiology continues to forge ahead in importance and scope, daring to go where no person has gone before! Techniques have come and gone and come back again. We stated that lymphography was ‘long since’ gone in the preface to the last edition. Now we have added a new section on lymphatic anatomy, as interest in lymphography has been reborn following new interventional radiology possibilities. Of course, the anatomy will always stay the same, but how imagers and interventionalists interact with it, and even how they understand it, continually evolves.
This latest edition has over 200 new images and diagrams and a new all colour format. There is emphasis on important anatomic detail by subspecialist authors bringing the latest edition completely up to date. Anatomy for Diagnostic Imaging has been a labour of love that has bookended radiology careers of its original authors and is something that we have been hugely proud of. With the new crew on board, we hope that there will be enthusiasm to continue to keep the book up to date as imaging continues to evolve over the next decade and beyond. It will certainly be in the best of hands. It has been fun. For me anyway!

Grainger & Allison's Diagnostic Radiology Essentials, 3d ed. by
This third edition of Grainger & Allison’s Diagnostic Radiology Essentials is the culmination of two years’ hard work on the part of the editors to update and revise the previous second edition. It is based on the current seventh edition of Grainger & Allison’s Diagnostic Radiology . Again, the overriding concept is to provide a unique single volume general radiology textbook, which attempts to encapsulate all the core information provided in its parent book, but presents it in an easy to read format. With this in mind, we have again made use of standardized headings throughout the book and have again directly linked images with the relevant text by placing them on the facing page. We have again made use of colour formatting throughout the book, to make it more accessible to the reader and facilitate quicker referencing. Inevitably due to limitations of space not every detail or as many figures could be included as we would have liked. However, we hope we have achieved, within space limitations, what we set out to do. We have included a new section on COVID-19-related pathology in response to the recent pandemic and also, amongst other changes, have revised the section on CNS tumours to reflect the new 2021 WHO CNS tumour classification.
