Top Score for the Radiology Boards


簡介(Book Description from Amazon):

Top Score for the Radiology Boards: Q & A for the Core and Certifying Exams is the ideal diagnostic radiology board prep resource. Written by radiologist Alan Weissman, with contributions from dozens of leading experts at renowned institutions, Top Score has a simple ambition: to improve your test scores.
The book covers all exam categories, including non-interpretive skills (NIS), physics, safety, breast, cardiac, diagnostic radiology, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, interventional, musculoskeletal, neuroradiology, nuclear, pediatrics, thoracic, ultrasound/reproductive/endocrinology, vascular, and general radiology.
Chapters are composed of four types of test cases of varying focus and complexity, each on a two-page spread.
Essentials
starts with a patient presentation, followed by board-type multiple-choice questions. Details begins with a case presentation, followed by 10 rapid-fire questions, enabling brisk, high-volume learning. Image Rich presents multiple images that require accurate identification, enabling accelerated, high-volume image assessment practice. More Challenging follows the same format as Essentials but adds a higher degree of difficulty.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone studying for the boards. Although there is some overlap between the core and the certifying exams, there are also concrete differences, and this book does a great job in cross-covering the critical material. It is a nice addition to the review books already out there. Cases are written in a user-friendly and succinct format. 2 pages per case. The image-rich questions are nice because they show you at least four diagnoses per case. The details questions are good for the minutia. Some of the more challenging questions are pretty tough! Also, I like that the authors decided to put the questions on the left and the answers on the right (that way, I don’t have to keep flipping pages back and forth). I don’t know why most books don't do it that way. Well worth the money.

Very useful! Reviewing cases is the best way to prepare for the boards. This book has excellent organization and offers a nice variety of cases. In addition to the standard diagnostic sections, it has a couple of extras, like physics and artifacts. The image-rich cases are particularly worthwhile. I really like how they give us “Top Tips” in the bottom right hand corner of every case, and I am sure that I will be reviewing those tips at crunch time.
This book is definitely geared for board preparation, but also gives recommendations on real life problems that you will see in your practice. Overall, I think this is a great tool for board preparation. High yield.
