Part of the EXPERTddx series, this unique print-and-electronic reference will guide radiologists toward logical, on-target differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical information. The book presents the most useful differential diagnoses for each region of the brain and spine, grouped according to specific anatomic location, generic imaging findings, modality-specific findings, or clinically-based indication. Each differential diagnosis includes at least eight clear, sharp, succinctly annotated images; a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but important; and brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues.

The companion online Amirsys e-Book Advantage provides additional annotated images.
