the examiner wants to hear...it would be difficult to find a better
high-yield, high-quality textbook covering every subsection of the
radiology oral board examination.--JAMAy
Extremely useful...This review book is not only rewarding but also a
resource radiologists can continue to refer to throughout their
careers.--Academic Radiology
Provides an excellent selection of cases for sharpening diagnostic
radiology considerations...useful for board preparation and
review.--Doody's Review
Top 3 Differentials in Radiology: A Case Review
is a practical case-based reference that will enable radiologists and
radiology residents to hone their skills in developing differential
diagnoses for common imaging findings. Presented as unknowns, the cases
are arranged into twelve main sections based on radiology
subspecialties. The book presents each case as a two-page unit. The left
page features clinical images and a brief description of the clinical
presentation. The right page provides the key imaging finding, Top 3
differential diagnoses, additional differential diagnoses, the final
diagnosis, and imaging pearls. The final section of the book contains
selected cases from all radiology subspecialties with distinctive
imaging findings that should lead definitively to a single diagnosis. Features:
325 cases presented as unknowns to facilitate exam preparation
Valuable high-yield review of all disease entities on the list of
differential diagnoses for each case
More than 700 high-quality images, including 74 in full color,
depicting key radiographic findings
Imaging pearls at the end of each case that highlight key teaching points
With its emphasis on gaining a solid foundation in differential
diagnoses for the full range of key imaging findings encountered in
clinical practice, this book is ideal for individuals preparing for the
initial American Board of Radiology examination as well as more
experienced radiologists preparing for recertification examinations.
"Could be the starting point for every radiology resident preparing
for the oral board examination...while most [textbooks] are dedicated
to1 of the 11 sections, Top 3 Differentials in Radiology is not so
limited...[the author] is right on target by listing, for each case, the
3 most likely differential diagnoses...the descriptions are accurate and
concise - exactly what the examiner wants to hear...includes
high-quality images...unique is an appendix listing the key imaging
findings and top 3 differentials for the first 300 cases in the
text...innovative...a handy reference...it would be difficult to find a
better high-yield, high-quality textbook covering every subsection of
the radiology oral board examination...highly
recommend[ed]."--JAMA_x000D_ _x000D_ "325 cases presented in a
