Radiology Review Manual

The #1 radiology board review is now in its thoroughly updated and expanded new 7th edition! Through six 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 (just like the exam) 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. All chapters have been thoroughly updated with the information relevant to the practice of general radiology. Also, included is a new companion website, which includes fully searchable text and images.
