Paediatric Radiology Rapid Reporting

There is a narrow margin between pass and fail in the notably demanding Rapid Reporting component of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) Part 2B examination. This book provides readers with a comprehensive evaluation of paediatric radiographs, not only for those preparing for this examination but for all those who report them in their clinical practice. The overriding principle remains the same regardless of background – safe radiographic interpretation. Prospective candidates may have only had limited opportunity to report paediatric imaging, which may have been some time before they attempt the examination. Whilst other resources provide only a limited selection of paediatric radiographs, this book is solely dedicated to improving skill and knowledge in paediatric reporting. This text has been meticulously crafted to bridge any gaps in knowledge, while addressing deficiencies repeatedly identified in the FRCR Part 2B Examiners’ Reports in that “many candidates struggle with interpretation of paediatric imaging—even for common paediatric pathologies” and that “knowledge of normal appearances on paediatric plain images...was particularly poor in the Rapid Reporting”. This new edition has been extensively revised and contains 3 new tests. This unrivalled educational resource now comprises nearly 400 practice paediatric radiographs which is unique to the marketplace. The range of cases, from neonate to adolescent, deliver a sound knowledge of common paediatric fracture patterns and pathologies which enables readers to confidently differentiate between normal and abnormal. The much-lauded explanations accompanying these high-quality imaging tests remain robust and accurate, allowing candidates to maximise their preparation for all facets of the FRCR 2B examination and beyond.
