This aspect is a central theme in Geriatric Imaging, which covers a wide range of applications of different imaging techniques and clearly explains both the potential and the limitations of diagnostic imaging in geriatric patients. Individual sections are devoted to each major region or system of the body, and a concluding section focuses specifically on interventional procedures. The book, written by recognized experts in the field, is superbly illustrated and will be an ideal resource for geriatricians, radiologists, and trainees.RadiologyGeriatricsInternal medicineFamily medicineRadiologyGeriatricsInternal MedicineGeneral Practice and Family MedicineRadiology.Geriatrics.Internal medicine.Family medicine.Radiology.Geriatrics.Internal Medicine.General Practice and Family Medicine.618.970754Guglielmi Giuseppe34863Peh Wilfred C G1756639Guermazi Ali1756640MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438132103321Geriatric imaging4194071UNINA
