What Radiology Residents Need To Know

This book is an introduction to musculoskeletal radiology, specifically designed for the needs of first-year residents. On the first rotation in musculoskeletal imaging, radiology residents are asked to learn significant amounts of information at a fast and unrelenting pace. However, most current books are densely written and contain far more material than residents need to know. Moreover, the number, variety and quality of images is often limited. What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Musculoskeletal Radiology answers these needs by presenting the important information in bullet fashion, divided into convenient sub-units, such as "clinical information," "imaging findings," and "management." In most cases, an individual pathological condition can be presented in one page or less. In addition, it contains tips on approaching and interpreting radiographs, MRI and CT based on decades of practical experience and teaching residents at the work station. With liberal use of illustrations in the text and an online bank of many more high-quality images, this book gives readers a comprehensive library of musculoskeletal imaging scans and serves as an ideal guide for radiology residents.

Douglas P. Beall, MD, summarizes the early experiences of established clinicians to create a compendium of everything you need to know during your formative years in radiology. Written for radiology residents and fellows and newly minted radiologists, the Radiology Sourcebook provides vital professional information and sound guidance on such critical issues as resident employment, Board examinations and test results, review courses, fellowships, and CAQs, as well as practical advice on finding a job and what you should know about your professional contract. The book also offers the radiology trainee a proven framework for performing basic procedures in general radiology, understanding the tools and instruments essential to those procedures, obtaining the images needed to make a diagnosis, and reporting the examination once they have been obtained.

This textbook provides a basic introduction to radiology and imaging along with the minimum required knowledge written from a practical clinical perspective. Presenting essential definitions and critical images, this textbook offers key references in a welcomed concise format, targeting medical students and interns undertaking the USMLE and house staff of any specialty desiring a resource for practical and useful information relevant to and including medical imaging of common diseases and conditions. Organized by signs, symptoms, history, disease, imaging and imaging findings, and clinical service/specialty, this textbook thoughtfully addresses the early challenges faced by medical students and interns preparing for their beginning rotation or internship. Allowing readers to bypass dense radiology books too cluttered with detail, organized by body part instead of clinical relevance, or not inclusive of the latest developments and technologies, this textbook prepares students and house staff to enter and to succeed in this most rapidly evolving field in medicine. The Radiology Survival Kit: What You Need to Know for USMLE and the Clinics is a practical, clinically-oriented textbook offering an early career perspective intended for first through fourth year medical students and house staff, including interns and residents from any discipline, as well as radiology and radiography students and technologists, radiology and ICU nurses, nursing students, radiology administrators, and foreign medical graduates.

This book is an introduction to neuroradiology, specifically designed for the needs of first-year residents. Currently available textbooks, while excellent reference books, provide far too much material than is needed for radiology residents, particularly those on first-year rotations. This book covers information important both from a practical standpoint and for later board preparation in a short and simple format. The book is divided into three main sections: Brain, Spine, and Head and Neck. Using an easy-to-read bulleted format, this book covers all the necessary material for a first year resident and high-yield, often-tested topics, making it additionally a useful study guide for board preparation later in residency. In addition, it provides valuable tips on how to approach and interpret CT and MRIs of the brain, spine and head and neck. Additional included coverage makes it useful in later rotations of more specialized areas like the eyes and temporal bone structures. Key topics include neuroimaging structural and functional anatomy, neurodegenerative disorders, and facial and skull base fracture imaging. Like other books in this series, a critical component of What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Neuroradiology will be the additional images found online only. These images amount to twice the number in the print and e-book versions to fully illustrate points made in the text. This is an ideal guide for first year radiology residency learning neuroradiology.

Combines clinical images, full-color illustrations and bulleted text to create a comprehensive, up-to-date resource for learning and review.

Information regarding the inherent opportunities and pitfalls of radiology residencies is surprisingly hard to come by. This comprehensive guide offers informal but logical advice to answer the wide range of questions that current or prospective residents may have. Though mentors rarely explicitly address these concerns, this knowledge is crucial to make the best of a residency-and ensure a successful future. As an associate radiology resident program director, chief author Barry Julius, MD, has advised many medical students and residents. To reach other aspiring radiologists with similar issues, he established radsresident.com, a portal offering application, lifestyle, and career information. The website's topics are organized in this guidebook, which is divided into three major sections: applicant advice, resident advice, and resident career advice. These sections cover considerations such as finding and applying to a great residency, tips for foreign applicants, making a good impression as a resident, moonlighting and call issues, choosing a fellowship, and navigating future professional and market options. In addition, to address the significant debt most residents will face, a series of appendices offer financial advice. Combined with an excellent medical education, Radsresident will prepare any radiology resident for a successful career.
