Overview:

This book has lists of differential diagnoses for common and uncommon diseases seen in practice. Part 3 of this book looks at Radiographic and ultrasonographic signs with subsections on thoracic ultrasonography, abdominal ultrasonography and ultrasonography of other regions (testes, eyes and neck). I find this book very useful to ensure I’ve thought of all possibilities when formulating a differential list for my ultrasonographic findings.

What is in the book?

This book is a list of differential diagnoses, so for example under Radiographic and ultrasonographic signs and the section on abdominal ultrasonography there is a section on splenic disease which gives comprehensive lists of differential diagnoses for the ultrasonographic findings of diffuse spenic disease (splenomegaly) of focal and multifocal disease.

Is there anything I should know?

The book is really handy A5 size book and easy to navigate with stars next to more common conditions, and indications where there is more information elsewhere in the book. It’s really useful to check you’re on track with differential diagnoses or for when you’re completely stumped and need to take a logical approach in a case!
