EXPERTddx presents the most relevant differential diagnoses used by radiologists today, each of them classified by:
- specific anatomic location
- generic imaging findings
- modality-specific findings
- clinically based indicators
Packed cover-to-cover with to-the-point bulleted information and more than 2,500 annotated images, with 8 or more for each differential, EXPERTddx is by far the most comprehensive and convenient reference book of its kind.
Finally, paired with this extraordinary volume is an online eBook companion, allowing the practicing radiologist to access information at the point-of-care.
