not exhaustive - but indexed on basis of location and description of abnormality - eg "middle mediastinal masses in adults.... or "calcification hepatic...and goes on to list differential with brief comments on key discriminators. Excellent book - useful aide de memoir for radiologists and clinicans who preview images [eg emergency physicians]

5.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT a book about AIDS, April 6, 1999

This review is from: Aids to Radiological Differential Diagnosis, 3e (Paperback)

Amazon appears to have catalogued this book as a book about Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome. In fact the first word in the title is an ordinary english word meaning "assistance" or "to help"
