Radiology Sourcebook

Book excerpt: Douglas P. Beall, MD, summarizes the early experiences of established clinicians to create a compendium of everything you need to know during your formative years in radiology. Written for radiology residents and fellows and newly minted radiologists, the Radiology Sourcebook provides vital professional information and sound guidance on such critical issues as resident employment, Board examinations and test results, review courses, fellowships, and CAQs, as well as practical advice on finding a job and what you should know about your professional contract. The book also offers the radiology trainee a proven framework for performing basic procedures in general radiology, understanding the tools and instruments essential to those procedures, obtaining the images needed to make a diagnosis, and reporting the examination once they have been obtained.
