Synopsis:

Packed with 150 radiologic images, this one-of-a-kind guide reviews classic results of conditions often encountered in the wards and on the USMLE. The photos are divided into six modalities, including CT, MRI, and ultrasonography. First, you'll learn how to conduct a basic study, then you'll move on to evaluating film quality, analyzing anatomical structure, and presenting findings for abnormal conditions. Most importantly, "First Aid for the Radiology Clerkship" helps you determine when to use the strengths of each study, as well as figure what the study cannot show.
