Diagnostic Imaging Review

This unique study guide/workbook provides a single, concise resource for reviewing the entire field of diagnostic radiology. It emphasizes how to analyze findings to arrive at an accurate diagnosis or how to order the diagnostic possibilities within a differential diagnostic set. Organized by body system, each chapter is divided into 3 sections that present: an overview of the system, lists of differential diagnoses with explanations, and an extensive compendium of disease entities with important points about their imaging and clinical findings. The book's "self-test" format provides a list of questions at the end of each chapter, enabling readers to test comprehension and identify which areas require further study. Lists of differential diagnoses help readers organize their approach to particular findings, with emphasis on outlining the differences between diagnostic possibilities. Each chapter references illustrations from standard textbooks in the field to allow for additional research. A separate chapter addresses the imaging of pediatric patients.
