Amongst the present generation of radiologists, beguiled by the glamour and excitement of the new high tech imaging and interventional modalities, too few have developed a strong sense of differential diagnosis based on radiologic pattern recognition and its correlation with clinical and laboratory fmdings. There is no question about the incredible contribution by the new modalities to our diagnostic armamentarium, but in the evolution of mod em-day radiologic practice, the cognitive element has been neglected and our abilities as diagnosticians have suffered. The advent of this third edition of Reeder and Felson's Gamuts in Radiology is timely and welcome. As always, use of the gamut lists will help evoke differential thinking, and this has been enhanced by the addition of over 250 new gamuts as well as by the updating of over three-fourths of the existing gamuts. Interestingly, about 130 of the new gamuts are MRI Gamuts developed by Dr. William Bradley whose enormous experience in clinical MRI has prepared him to think differentially about look-a-like patterns and/or locations of lesions displayed by this modality. This is an important step forward in the use of this remarkable new diagnostic tool.

Laundry list., July 25, 2011

Not nearly as useful as I had hoped. There aren't differentials for everything, but hey who's perfect? The problem is that although they are arranged by anatomy, they seem too incomplete/random to use as a reference. And who has the time to read through and learn which differentials are actually useful? Most, unfortunately, are just laundry lists without embellishment, listing the incredible obscure sometimes above the common entities. And you'll need to make your own mnemonics. I thought this was a classic, but I think it's more of an antiquity. The google machine is probably more efficent. I'll give it two stars for great price, great condition (it was supposedly used, but looked perfect and shrink wrapped), and prompt shipping.

Occasional help for boards ddx lists, but most helpful on call when you see an abnormality for which you need an appropriate ddx. This book has never let me down. No pictures. Pretty much just a list of ddx organized by finding. The lists are well referenced if you need additional info and/or pics. I like it much better than Dahnert.
