South Texas Radiology Imaging Center

Char Miller's collection of essays provides an insightful survey of San Antonio and South Char Miller's essays cover a wide range of South Texas topics, from natural and environmental history to urban development to San Antonio's future. Miller uses simple subjects-the First Friday Art Walks in South Town, for example-as a springboard for a deeper discussion of urban city planning and an elusive future of sensible growth and diversity. Moving farther afield, he examines the water wars between the U.S. and Mexico, a quarry turned upscale shopping center, and San Antonio's curious attempts to brand itself as a health resort.

Written by faculty members and residents, this volume of the popular LWW Teaching File Series is an excellent aid for radiology residents preparing for oral board exams. It presents 150 well-illustrated cases, drawn from teaching files in major medical centers, that cover all common chest diseases and current imaging modalities. Cases are presented as unknowns in a consistent format--images and a brief clinical history are followed by relevant findings, differential diagnosis, final diagnosis, and a discussion. This format enables readers to hone their diagnostic reasoning skills and answer exam questions with confidence. Cases are grouped according to pattern of radiographic appearance.
