Diagnóstico por Imagem em Medicina

Abstract

The book “Diagnostic Imaging in Medicine” was designed with the aim of trying to help the study and learning in Radiology for undergraduate students and recently graduated doctors. To this end, the book counts on the collaboration of renowned radiologists, together with residents and medical students, which makes the work pedagogically exceptional. In this sense, its own genesis was a learning process for both residents and academics involved, making its function partially fulfilled from the moment of its conception. Based on that, “Diagnostic Imaging in Medicine” also aims to assist newly graduated doctors in their learning beyond college, so that the book addresses the main pathologies and situations that a general practitioner will face in their daily lives. Having a practical and accessible language, the book overcomes the learning barrier imposed by classic textbooks, where its study is hindered by an exacerbated academicism contained in a little objective language. Furthermore, its preparation, which took place during the pandemic period, thanks to COVID-19, shows how much scientific production can be made more flexible in atypical periods like this, where cooperation between all participants was essential, making the work exceptional both for teaching and for learning.
