Essential Radiological Anatomy For The Mrcs

Provides candidates of the MRCS viva examinations with a thorough grounding in surgically relevant radiological imaging.

Over recent years the MRCS viva examination has increasingly made use of radiological imaging to facilitate the discussion of anatomy relevant to surgical practice. It is rare for junior doctors to receive adequate exposure to radiology in their day-to-day surgical practice, which makes preparation for this part of the examination difficult. For many, examinations are stressful. The last thing a candidate needs is to be faced with unfamiliar radiological images. This review of surgically relevant radiological imaging aims to prevent initial uncertainties and will allow candidates to discuss relevant anatomy and score valuable points. An invaluable addition to any revision plan, this title also: • highlights typical anatomy viva questions • familiarizes candidates with a range of images of differing modalities (plain film, fluoroscopy, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) • introduces different planes of imaging, enabling candidates to deal with unusual coronal or sagittal views with confidence • gives concise but detailed notes for quick consultation

An illustrated and concise revision textbook, this book is designed for doctors training in radiology and preparing for the First FRCR exam. Using a convenient format arranged by body system, it contains high-quality images demonstrating the key features of basic anatomy. It supplies both conventional imaging and cross-sectional CT and MRI anatomy, presents guidelines on how to interpret images, includes case studies in each chapter, and discusses commonly encountered pitfalls. The text matches the current curriculum of the FRCA Part 1 and Part 2A exams.
