Overview

This textbook 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: knowledge of normality; ability to formulate a differential diagnosis given a finding or a group of findings; and knowledge of disease and the pattern of manifestations relevant to imaging that a particular disease may produce. Organized 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.
