Die klinische Röntgendiagnostik der inneren Erkrankungen. II Hälfte.

This book deals with the clinical interpretation of roentgenologic examinations of the abdomen. It is logically written and well illustrated. The analysis of the roentgenologic observations of the gastro-intestinal tract, in parts, is thorough; that of the Graham-Cole test, however, is short, which may be due to the limited experience of the author in this phase of roentgenology. Many pages are given to the discussion of peptic ulcer, and that chapter is clearly written. The consideration of disturbances of the osseous system and the accompanying illustrations is well done. There are also many interesting plates and descriptions of disturbances in the bones associated with nervous diseases. The work is a valuable contribution to clinical roentgen diagnosis. It is especially valuable to clinicians who are familiar with roentgenologic appearances and whose interpretation based on the pathologic conditions may be more accurately correlated with the clinical story of the patient.
