Radiology: The Oral Boards Primer is designed to provide information that is typical
of that found on the oral board examination for diagnostic radiology. Cases are provided
to illustrate typical pathology and to provide a visual source for the construction of a
differential diagnosis. Once the differential is mentally rendered, the mnemonics may be
used as a memory aid and to augment any missing components of the differential that
would be considered important. The chapters are organized as close to the oral boards
exam format as possible. The cases should be examined, interpreted, and completed in
a very rapid fashion, allowing for many cases to be reviewed in a single sitting. The vast
majority of the cases contain prototypical representations of pathology allowing this text
to be used as a memory aid and as a case reference source for many years after one has
taken and passed the oral board examination
