Top 3 Differentials in Radiology A Case Review-2판

Praise for the first edition:

"Innovative...it would be difficult to find a better high-yield, high-quality textbook covering every subsection of the
radiology...board examination." - JAMA

"Extremely useful for practicing radiologists and radiology residents looking to...acquire the most pertinent knowledge
in preparation for board exams, recertification, and general practice...This high-yield way of learning allows the
rapid development of...differential diagnoses...for the full range of entities commonly encountered in practice and
board exam settings." - Academic Radiology

"One of the major strengths of this book is...it focuses on short succinct differentials and avoids the laundry-list
differentials...The book...is a great value for those looking to develop short clear differentials for the imaging
findings..." - Radiology

This fully revised second edition of Top 3 Differentials in Radiology provides a comprehensive core exam review of
frequently encountered imaging gamuts in all major radiological subspecialties. Author William O'Brien utilizes the
widely acclaimed format of his first edition, with 330 new and updated radiology cases organized into 12 core
subspecialty sections. The last section, "Roentgen Classics," includes cases from each of the previous core sections,
with imaging findings characteristic of a single diagnosis.

This book reflects content included in the current radiology board examinations with accurate and concise descriptions
of key differentials, which are integral to acing the boards. Each case is formatted as a two-page unit. The left page
features clinical images, succinctly captioned radiographic findings, and pertinent clinical history. The right page
includes the key imaging gamut, differential diagnoses rank-ordered by the Top 3, additional diagnostic considerations,
and clinical pearls.
