, Radiology is not just X-rays anymore. The rapid strides made in
imaging technology has revolutionised radiology with advent of
_Ultrasound, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, PET
Scanning and Interventional Radiology. Integration of these recent
advances into the syllabus has increased the bur�n placed on radiology
trainees facing Fellowship Exams. There is a burning need for simple
and accurate resource to make the process of facing examinations a less
daunting task.
In preparing this book, Dr Prabhakar Rajiah has been successful in
developing a comprehensive practice resource for the Fellowship Exams.
This book is in the sam� format to the Fellowship Exams and has been
written using up-to-date and accurate information. This is easily the
most extensive and largest collection of MCQs in radiology available
today. The main strength of the book the categorisation of questions · ·
into related subtopics and the thorough,detailed explanation provided
with the answers at the end of each section. The questions are of varying
difficulty,· covering amongst others, differential diagnosis, epidemio
logy, which is the staple of any Fellowship Exam and recent imaging
techniques. The questions cover the three key components, anatomy,
techniques and pathology. This should benefit everyone from the
beginner to the more accomplished.
I am in no doubt, that this book is an ideal way of revising for the
exams. It is also a good companion for self-assessment and would be
of interest for senior radiologists who would like to update their
knowledge and stay informed about current practices and imaging
methods. This book is an ideal combination of information and revision
resource.
