This book provides first year radiology residents an easy to digest, image rich book with key information necessary to learn and succeed on their first abdominal rotations. Current generation learners prefer just in time learning of high impact material, presented in small, quick to assimilate formats. This book is not intended to provide an exhaustive overview of abdominal pathology; rather, it serves to provide foundational knowledge and approaches to imaging of common diseases.
Each chapter focuses on an organ system and covers commonly encountered diseases or disorders. Each topic discusses the imaging findings on different imaging modalities, allowing the leaner to see how the same disease process will appear on each modality. This is of benefit even if the trainee has not yet rotated through that modality as it will allow them to build knowledge that can then be more critically applied as they reread the information on that disorder when they rotate on thatmodality.
This is an ideal guide for all first-year radiology residents.
