Radiology Review Manual by Wolfgang F. Dahnert, Wolfgang Dahnert

From the Publisher

The encyclopedic radiology specialty reference is now in its thoroughly updated and expanded new Sixth Edition! Through five editions, Dr. Dahnert's Radiology Review Manual has helped thousands of readers prepare for--and successfully complete--their written boards. It's organized by body region and provides extensive lists of image findings and differential diagnoses that are associated with specific disease entities. An accessible outline format, a "shorthand" style, and a thorough index make must-know facts easy to find, review, and remember.

Lee F. Rogers

This is the second edition of a book originally published in 1991 that attempts to present in outline form the principal clinical and imaging features of disease in all organ systems. It covers all forms of imaging, plain film radiography, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. The expressed purpose is to prepare radiology residents for the American Board of Radiology's written and oral examinations. It essentially serves as the ""Cliff Notes"" for diagnostic radiology. It is written primarily for diagnostic radiology residents but could be useful as a quick, compact source of information for the practicing community radiologist as well--a Merck Manual for radiology if you will. This is essentially an outline illustrated by a limited number of line drawings. It is organized by chapters devoted to individual anatomic body systems. Diseases are simply presented in alphabetical order with no attempt to separate the diseases into categories, i.e., tumors, trauma, infection, etc. The overwhelming acceptance of the first edition of the book by radiology residents augurs well for the second edition. The work has been expanded, and errors found in the first edition have been corrected. On the basis of its past performance, this book should enjoy brisk sales.
