Radiology for Undergraduate Finals and Foundation Years: Key topics and question types

MasterPass Series Basic knowledge of radiology is essential for medical students regardless of the specialty they plan to enter. Hospital patients increasingly undergo some form of imaging ranging from plain film through to CT and MRI. As technologies and techniques advance and radiology grows in scope medical school curricula are reflecting its increased importance. This book provides a mixture of case-based teaching structured questions and self-assessment techniques relevant to the evolving modern curriculum. It covers critical areas including knowledge of when to investigate a patient which modality best answers a specific clinical question and how to interpret chest and abdominal x-rays. Along with final year medical students this book will also benefit postgraduate FY1 and FY2 junior doctors and those in the earlier clinical years who wish to expland their radiology knowledge. It also provides a useful basic radiology primer for the early MRCP and MRCS examinations. For more information on other titles in this series please click here
