Synopsis

Part of the popular Case Review series, SPINE IMAGING: CASE REVIEW focuses on imaging of the spine, complete with full discussion and images. Designed as a study guide for radiology and neuroradiology residents preparing for board exams and clinical practice, it presents 175 unknown cases in which clinical images (MR, CT, plain radiographs, angiograms, myelograms) of spinal pathology, as well as anatomic variants, are discussed. It contains more than 350 images with questions, answers, commentary, references, and cross references to NEURORADIOLOGY: THE REQUISITES by Grossman.

* Features at-a-glance review of spine imaging cases that can prepare the candidate studying for exams in Neuroradiology or for the general radiologist looking for the ideal tool to help sharpen diagnostic abilities in this subspecialty. * Mimics official exam formats and allows reader self-testing, subsequent learning, preparation and confidence-building to succeed in exam settings and in the daily practice environment. * Organizes cases randomly and divides them into three overall categories, so the reader has the opportunity to test him/herself at different degrees of difficulty. * Complements and references the Neuroradiology: THE REQUISITES volume to provide the most comprehensive review for the exams. THE REQUISITES covers the essentials of the subspecialty and the CASE REVIEW allows you to test yourself on those essentials. * Includes approximately 400 state-of-the-art images which complement the text and provide a clear picture of what exam takers can expect. * Affordable, manageable, practical 8 1/2 x 11 size with space for note-taking in the text. * Features a consistent format with the same features: case presented as unknown with four questions, followed by answers to questions, detailed commentary, latest references in the literature, and cross-reference to THE REQUISITES volume.

About this title

Review:

This book is part of the Case Review series from Mosby, known for its excellent radiology titles. Over 350 spinal images--including MR, CT, plain film, and angiogram images--show a variety of diseases and conditions. The images, along with case questions, are presented on right-hand pages, and the answers and comments appear on the reverse sides. This makes a great review program for the boards. --Carolyn Lewis
