Description
This new title offers concise, yet comprehensive coverage of the core radiology knowledge required to competently pass exams and for everyday practice. It addresses the three key areas required of a radiologist in training and in practice:
1. Knowledge of normality
2. Ability to formulate a differential diagnosis given a finding or a group of findings
3. Knowledge of disease and the pattern of manifestations relevant to imaging that a
particular disease may produce
Organised by body system, each chapter focuses on three sections: Gamuts contain lists of differential diagnosis for an imaging finding, and are organized in a logical structure easier to follow than an alphabetical list. Ranking the causes of various conditions will help the reader focus on the common rather than the rare
Normal examines normal structure, normal values, and normal findings
Overviews describe conditions by pathology and imaging
Emphasizes fundamental principles and understanding...making it perfect for review.
Uses a logical, body system organization and a consistent chapter structure.
Provides checklists of common and important radiologic conditions...for quick access to information.
