Get Through Radiology for MRCP Part 2 PDF

Preface

This book is intended for candidates preparing for postgraduate medical examinations such as the MRCP, but should also be helpful for medical students and doctors in training. The pattern of the MRCP examination has changed significantly and candidates are now expected not only to identify the features evident in the radiological image shown, but also to formulate a differential diagnosis and know aspects of the necessary management. The scenarios given in the examination are the conditions usually encountered in day-to-day practice, plus some uncommon but 'not to be missed' pathologies.

Radiology has always played a central role in patient management. Candidates going for higher exams are expected to recognize various disease patterns and correlate them with the clinical information provided. We have tried to include the conditions commonly seen in the MRCP exams, and as there is so much to be covered in the huge syllabus, we have included full discussion of the answers as well as background information on certain disease conditions so as to aid the testing and revising process.

This book is a combined effort by a recent MRCP candidate and a consultant radiologist. We would be grateful for any helpful suggestions or constructive criticism to further improve the quality of the book.
