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
• brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues

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