By Richard Nakielny and Stephen Chapman

Book Overview

This book is to supplement major radiological textbooks for those preparing for the final examination for the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists in the UK, the specialist Boards in the USA and other similar professional examinations. The first part of the book gives lists on differential diagnosis (concentrating on conditions of most relevance to radiological practice). These lists are supplemented with notes on useful facts and discriminating factors for the radiologist. The second part of the book gives notes on the radiological appearance of approximately 80 important diseases.

The aim is to help in the logical interpretation of the radiograph.Lists of differential diagnosesNotes on radiological appearancesDesigned for examination preparationRedesigned layout to make information more accessibleContents reflects continuing increase in use of a full range of imaging modalities for diagnosisFully updated to reflect latest clinical practice
