This clinical study aid was designed in the tradition of the First Aid series of books. It is formatted in the same way as the other books in the series. You will fi nd that rather than simply preparing you for success on the clerkship exam, this resource will also help guide you in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of many of the problems seen by radiologists, physicians, and trainees across several specialties.

The content of the book is based on the objectives for medical students laid out by the National Medical Student Curriculum in Radiology which may be viewed at: http://www.aur.org/amser/AMSER_national_curriculum.html. “Must see” images are incorporated into the chapters based on anatomy. There is also a practical section on “lines and tubes” that will come in handy for ward rounds in other clerkships. The content of the text is organized in the format similar to other texts in the First Aid series. Topics are listed by bold headings, and the “meat” of the topic provides essential information. The outside margins contain mnemonics, diagrams, summary or warning statements and tips. Tips are denoted by .
