This book, structured according to the normal anatomical areas in radiological diagnostic imaging: abdomen, neck, thorax, limbs, spine, and head, offers the key aspects of both radiographic interpretation and the diagnosis of diseases, as well as a special chapter with the most common diagnostic errors. Its more than 500 high-resolution images are accompanied by the necessary text to increase their descriptive value. In addition, the book is complemented by multimedia material, which can be accessed through QR codes located throughout the text. In this way, the reader can access different normal radiographic anatomy diagrams, both with and without the anatomical details identified. All these elements make this book a reference in the field of clinical radiology.
