Core Radiology: A Visual Approach to Diagnostic Imaging, 2nd Edition – Sun, Shi & Mandell Premium Multicolor Matt Print

Core Radiology teaches radiology the way radiology is actually practised — by looking. More than 2,100 clinical images carry the teaching, each one captioned and colour-coded so that the finding you are meant to see is the finding you actually see. The text runs alongside in tight bullet points, tables and boxes rather than dense paragraphs, which is why residents tend to finish this book instead of abandoning it halfway.

Edited by Ellen X. Sun, Junzi Shi and Jacob C. Mandell and published by Cambridge University Press, it was written to cover the American Board of Radiology Core Exam, but it has travelled a long way past that. It is one of very few single references that crosses every organ system at a level detailed enough to trust in daily reporting and compact enough to revise from before an exam.

New in This Edition

The second edition is a full revision, with three areas rebuilt in particular:

• Expanded descriptions of paediatric cardiac surgery
• Updated brain tumour classifications
• New coverage of non-invasive vascular imaging

It is also now split into two volumes instead of one, which turns a 1,088-page reference into something you can realistically carry and read from.

What This Book Covers

Fifteen chapters, organised the way the Core Exam is organised:

• Thoracic Imaging
• Gastrointestinal Imaging

Key Features

• Over 2,100 clinical images, captioned and colour-annotated so the abnormality is pointed out rather than left for you to hunt
• Over 400 colour illustrations drawn specifically for the book
• Bulleted text with tables and text boxes — built for revision, not for reading cover to cover
• Real cases covering the entities most likely to turn up both in exams and on a reporting list
• A dedicated Imaging Physics chapter, the section most trainees struggle to find taught well anywhere else
• Two-volume format, so you can carry only the half you are working through
