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.

This review is from: Reeder and Felson's Gamuts in Radiology: Comprehensive Lists of Roentgen Differential Diagnosis (Hardcover)

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.
