This book provides a practically orientated resource that details the use a range of imaging techniques across major specialties plus those that are less well represented in standard textbooks (e.g. cardiothoracic surgery, palliative care, geriatric medicine, skin conditions from diverse ethnic groups). Emphasis is placed on enabling the reader to interpret images and clinical data, while avoiding mistakes and pitfalls in their day-to-day practice. Detailed question and answer sections along with insightful videos reinforce key messages (e.g. visualizing heart murmurs). Grading of questions aids navigation, with more difficult questions to benefit the high-flying students/junior doctors preparing for postgraduate exams/physician associates and advanced nurse practitioners working in a specialist area.

Practical Guide to Visualizing Medicine: A Self-Assessment Manual concisely covers how to use imaging techniques in medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology. It emphasizes the value of being able to accurately visualize signs and symptoms to make accurate diagnoses and provide patient-centered care. The added insight given from experienced medical educators on how to select an appropriate medical specialty makes this work critical for all trainee and early-career medical practitioners and allied healthcare professionals.
