Stedman's Radiology Words

As a transcriptionist in training, Stedman's Radiology Words has been very helpful. This book is a great addition to my library and I highly recommend it for the transcriptionist.

I work as a medical transcriptionist in the radiology field. This book is extremely valuable to me as a very good reference book. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone that is in the field of radiology.

I love this reference book! It is organized so I can easily find what I need. It also has all the newest MRI sequences, etc. I would be lost on the Internet trying to find answers to my spelling questions if I didn't have this time-saving resource at my fingertips. This is a MUST for anyone working with a radiology department.

Stedman's "Radiology Words" is a stellar imaging word reference for the radiology transcriptionist. Being a full-time radiology transcriptionist and having used Stedman's second edition for many years with extremely favorable results, I can only state emphatically that this current edition has greatly improved by bringing the vastly burgeoning radiological terminology up to date. Imaging modalities have exponentially increased since the last Stedman's Radiology word reference [1995], and with it, the imaging vernacular has exploded. This third edition has accomplished its mission.Many more diagnostic and interventional terms are at hand, as well as mammographic, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, ultrasonographic and neuroradiological terms. All, of course, are thoroughly cross-referenced.Additionally, five handy appendices are added: 1) 19 pages of anatomical illustrations, the first 5 pages of which demonstrate anatomical planes/positions, 2) 4½ pages of various contrast media, 3) common radiological oncologic terms, 4) sample radiology reports [14, mind you] ranging from the simplest to nuclear medicine/MRI/CT, etc., and 5) common terms of procedures.This nearly 1000-page imaging tome is the tops! I would strongly recommend this reference to anyone involved in imaging transcription.
