O autorze

Gary X. Wang, MD, PhD is a diagnostic radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. As a member of the Medical Scientist Training Program, he received his MD and PhD degrees from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and performed part of his doctoral thesis at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. His clinical and research interests are focused on improving the care of cancer patients.

Mark A. Anderson, MD is an Instructor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School and an abdominal radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. He completed residency and subspecialty abdominal imaging training at Mass General and now serves as the assistant fellowship director in the Abdominal Imaging division. His research interests include benign and malignant pancreaticobiliary diseases, including primary sclerosing cholangitis, IgG4-related disease, pancreatic and biliary malignancies, and imaging of adverse events related to cancer therapy.

Lauren Uzdienski is a medical writer with more than a decade of experience in academic writing, regulatory writing and scientific manuscript preparation. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from New York University. 

Susanna I Lee, MD, PhD is Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School and Chief of Women’s Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. She is a Fellow of the American College of Radiology and the Society of Abdominal Radiology. Her clinical expertise is in body imaging using all radiologic modalities, i.e. fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, MRI and PET, and in image-guided interventions. She is a co-author of the first edition of the Choosing the Correct Radiologic Test textbook, a comprehensive case-based textbook that guides physicians on the appropriate use of imaging exams in patient care.

This book will enable practicing physicians and trainees to learn, in a clinically relevant and intellectually stimulating way, guidelines for appropriate ordering of imaging exams. The new edition provides more than 460 clinical case scenarios, organized into subspecialty modules (breast, cardiac, thoracic, gastrointestinal, urologic, women's, pediatric, vascular, musculoskeletal, and neurologic imaging). Each scenario is presented as a quiz in which the reader is invited to select the best option from various imaging modalities. All choices are given ratings of appropriateness and is consistent with the American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria. Furthermore, a brief solution to each case is included. Finally, over 500 radiologic images are included each associated with a clinical case to illustrate the diagnostic capabilities of the imaging exam. This second edition incorporates new content and revisions to remain consistent with the updated ACR Appropriateness Criteria since the original publication in 2012. It will be an ideal tool both for self-study and for quantitative evaluation of students’ knowledge.
