Publisher's Note The interpretation of X-Rays forms an important part of the clinical practice of medicine. While most books on X-Ray diagnosis are written by radiologists, this book is different in that it is written by physicians, thus giving it a marked clinical slant. The book is targeted both at undergraduate and postgraduate students in internal medicine, hence the X-Rays presented here have been carefully chosen to represent a range of radiological investigations besides plain X-Ray films: these include computerised tomographic scans, angiograms, venograms and urograms. The aim of the questions (with answers) accompanying each X-Ray is to enable students to systematically question and determine several points upon examination of abnormalities in an X-Ray; that is, to enquire about points in the history, to look for presence or absence of physical signs, to consider possibilities, and to proceed to do further tests to reach a diagnosis. As such, the book serves to emphasise that every X-Ray has to be interpreted in the background of clinical data. Suggested answers to the questions are provided.
