This book, a compendium of many subjects all related to diagnostic imaging, is not the result of an organized, predetermined plan. Instead, it emerged in an organic fashion. The editorial style of each chapter grew out of an obligation to provide a monthly audio discussion in my capacity as coordinating editor of Practical Reviews in Radiology, a digest of contemporary radiology articles for CME content. I have edited and expanded on each of the topics I initially presented, and added many new ones, each similar in length to the other. Over the past decade, this exercise became a delightful habit for me. As I became aware of a potential or actual issue related to radiology, I researched it and consolidated my thoughts by putting them on paper.
