The original, and only complete, handbook of gamuts is this one by Reeder and Felson. Now in its third edition, it remains the number one authority for every radiologist! The book consists entirely of lists of diagnoses, which cover every anatomic region and imaging modality. Each gamut, or list, starts from a main radiographic finding and runs the complete range from common to uncommon diagnoses. The third edition has been entirely updated; with over 400 new gamuts it has twice as much information as the previous edition. A new, special section on MRI keeps Reeder and Felson's Gamuts in Radiology up to the mark of technological advances. "...this classic text has almost doubled in size and has managed to keep abreast of the modern advances in radiology." (RAD for Radiographers, Radiologists and Radiotherapists) "In day-to-day practice these gamuts are of priceless value for both residents and experienced radiologists. Buy it and use it." (Eur. J of Radiology)
From reviews of the third edition:
"An absolute must for all radiologists and residents"
"The grandfather of, and gold standard for, all texts dealing with differential diagnosis"
"The book most used in the course of a working day"
From the reviews of the fourth edition:
"The fourth edition of the Gamuts in Radiology maintains its traditional focus by providing complete and accurate lists of differential diagnoses. ... the primary purpose of this reference is to serve as an encyclopedic guide for the radiologist ... . radiologists will likely find this book most helpful ... . a learning tool for radiologists who are in training and as a refresher for radiologists who are in practice. ... it would be a welcome addition to radiology reading rooms." (Jesse Wei, and Phillip M. Boiselle, Radiology, July 2004)
From the reviews of the fourth edition:
"The latest edition of this book continues its emphasis on differential diagnosis with the addition of more than 250 new gamuts as well as updating of existing gamuts. ... The purpose of the book remains to provide complete and accurate lists of differential radiological diagnoses. ... This latest volume will continue to be an essential reference book for departmental libraries where it will be of value both to trainee and consultant radiologists ... ."
