Radiology Text Books .. 3-02 Ian McLean, DC, DACBR - Department Head Diagnostic Imaging I am frequently asked about radiology textbooks that would be suitable for the chiropractic office. Here is my list of favorites. Get out the credit cards! Did I leave any out? Probably. If you have questions on specific texts contact me at imcleandc@aol.com. These first 4 are an absolute must! 1. Clinical Imaging: With Skeletal, Chest, and Abdomen Pattern Differentials By Dennis M. Marchiori, DC, MS, DACBR Palmer College of Chiropractic, Davenport, Iowa I'm biasedäI admit it, but I am particularly proud of this text representing the work of DACBR¼s and medical radiologists. This is a goldmine of information for chiropractic students and practitioners. This comprehensive text covers skeletal, chest, abdomen, brain and spinal cord imaging in a format that emphasizes plain film radiography and integrates it with MRI and CT. Dr. Marchiori use a unique pattern approach to understanding imaging diagnosis combined with detailed descriptions of disease entities found in more traditional textbooks. The pattern approach helps the reader transition from image to differential diagnosis, by learning to recognize patterns of abnormality and then developing a list of possible diagnoses.
