  • 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

 

Features
 
Emphasises fundamental principles and understanding, making it perfect for review  
 
Uses a logical, body system organisation and a consistent chapter structure  
 
Provides checklists of common and important radiological conditions - excellent for quick access to information!
