This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

It is now 84 years since Dr. Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered X rays. In that time conventional diagnostic radiology has established itself as an acceptable and very reliable imaging method and many would consider its position in this respect unassailable. In spite of this, such has been the impact of the introduction of the three newer imaging methods, computerized tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), and isotopes (IS) that in this book on medical imaging, conventional radiology hardly gets a mention.
