Summary: Now in its second edition, this popular text remains a comprehensive study and review aid for the radiation oncology trainee and practicing radiation oncologist. The updated Radiation Oncology Study Guide, 2e maintains its robust Q&A format, and has been comprehensively updated to include the latest staging information and treatment methods. Answer rationales have been modified to a more readable, high yield bulleted format. Each chapter covers a major disease site and is divided into two main parts: Questions & Answers and Rationale. Questions review the scope of clinical practice, spanning from initial presentation to complications of treatment. General content and work-up questions emphasize "pearls" of epidemiology, anatomy, pathology, clinical presentation, and staging. Treatment content questions not only review evidence-based data guiding treatment recommendations, but also practical aspects of radiation treatment planning, pertinent radiobiology and physics, and complications of treatment. This book is an ideal resource for physicians-in-training to prepare for initial written and oral exams and physicians in practice to maintain their skills and prepare for maintenance of certification longitudinal and written exams.

Summary: Three years after the publication of the first edition, Radiological Anatomy for FRCR Part 1 remains the best seller in its category based on its faithful representation of the examination. This second edition is designed to reflect the change in exam format introduced in spring 2013. It includes two new chapters as well as some new cases in the remaining chapters and tests. Under the new exam format, candidates will be presented with 100 cases, with a single question per case and a single mark for the correct answer. This book covers all core topics addressed by the exam in a series of tests and includes chapters focussing specifically on paediatric cases and normal anatomical variants. The answers to questions, along with explanations and tips, are supplied at the end of each chapter. Care has been taken throughout to simulate the exam itself. The book aims not to replace the already available literature on radiological anatomy but rather to complement it as a revision guide. It will help candidates to identify the level of anatomical knowledge expected by the Royal College of Radiologists.

Summary: This book, in MCQ format, is a comprehensive tool that will help Nuclear Medicine and Radiology residents and attending physicians to understand concepts in nuclear medicine. Questions cover clinical applications of nuclear medicine techniques to the cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, skeletal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and central nervous systems. In addition, topics in physics, radiopharmacy, and radiation safety are addressed. The MCQ format closely resembles that used in board examinations in nuclear medicine. Each question has four possible answers, only one of which is correct. About 60% of the questions are linked to clinical cases, with each case having four questions on average, along with one or two images. The remainder of the questions are free-standing, with or without an image. Answers are concise but are supported by references to the literature when necessary. Pearls in boxes are used to highlight the most important pieces of information. While the questions are scrambled, as in board exams, an index categorizes each question into one of the systems or topics. .
