Description
Part of the EXPERTddx series, this unique print-and-electronic reference will guide radiologists toward logical, on-target differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical information. The book presents the most useful differential diagnoses for each region of the brain and spine, grouped according to specific anatomic location, generic imaging findings, modality-specific findings, or clinically-based indication. Each differential diagnosis includes at least eight clear, sharp, succinctly annotated images; a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but important; and brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues.
The companion online Amirsys e-Book Advantage provides additional annotated images.
Features
--Over 3,300 clear, sharp images with succinct, authoritative annotations
--For each anatomic region, differential diagnoses are grouped into categories:
-- Specific anatomic location, e.g., focal cortical mass
-- Generic imaging findings, e.g., solitary ring-enhancing lesion
-- Modality-specific findings, e.g., multifocal parenchymal hypointensities on T2 imaging
-- Clinically-based indication, e.g., postoperative acute back pain/radiculopathy
--Each differential diagnosis includes:
-- At least eight annotated images
-- A list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but important
-- Brief, bulleted text highlighting key differential diagnosis issues and helpful clues for common, less common, and rare diagnoses
