Learning from the mechanisms of the human body: Diagnostic imaging technology

This is a textbook for the specialized subject "Diagnostic Imaging Technology." Chapter 1, "Basics of Anatomy," explains the basics of anatomy and normal images that should be known before interpreting images. Chapter 2, "Diagnostic Imaging Technology for Each Body Part," begins with a "Check" section that lists key points to keep in mind when interpreting images of each disease, covering everything from basic to clinical content in one volume. Assuming that diagnostic radiologists have the necessary knowledge of diseases and pathologies to "support radiologists in diagnostic imaging," the book does not simply describe the results that are depicted, but also explains the reasons for them whenever possible. It also includes a "Density & Signal" table for imaging findings, listing density and signal intensity on CT and MRI scans.
