The selection of cases is broad enough to provide an introduction, with more testing cases for those in the later stages of training. Each self-test case is presented with an image, or set of images, together with the pertinent clinical details. The solution and explanation is presented along with differential diagnoses that logically derive from the images and history. The correct diagnosis is followed by discussion of the underlying problem, strategy points and main imaging findings. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781840761207 Print ISBN: 978-1-84076-120-7 eBook ISBN: 978-1-84076-639-4 May 2010, 261 x 194 mm, 352 pp., Soft Cover Suggested Price: $79.95 / £49.99
