In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in learning, specifically the manner in which information is gathered and ingested. This is particularly notable in subject matter that covers great breadth or is rapidly evolving, such as medicine, and more specifically, diagnostic imaging. Students and residents (and for that matter, practicing radiologists) quickly turn to the Internet to “Google™” unknown factoids, rapidly gathering information, in many cases without source validation. This has created silo learning where tidbits of information are immediately collected, answering the one specific question of concern. However, there is little depth or longevity afforded with this learning process, which in many cases does not drill down to the anatomic or pathophysiologic fundamental principles. As a result, there is a lack of complete understanding, or even worse, misunderstanding, and the information is often retained only long enough to address the question at hand.
This book is an attempt to address the silo learning afforded by the Internet. It is organized according to 10 subspecialties and includes overviews of imaging- based physics for ultrasound, MRI, and nuclear medicine.
Content centers on the fundamentals of anatomy and pathophysiology with concise relevant imaging correlation. This, however, is not a text emphasizing image interpretation, as there are countless other references that do this quite well. At the end of each chapter, the reader is challenged with a set of questions written in single best answer, multiple-choice format. Detailed discussions of the answers enhance and enforce the reader's learning experience.
The goal of this text is to provide a firm foundation for learning and reference during residency training, and through lifelong learning. Its intent is to link together common concepts while presenting often complex material in a simple, straight-forward manner, hopefully balanced with enough depth so that fundamental concepts are reinforced so as to avoid piecemeal or silo learning.
