With the introduction of the new American Board of Radiology (ABR) Core Exam (a 13.5-hour, 2-day marathon) after the 3rd year of radiology residency, many residents are not receiving adequate interventional radiology (IR) exposure prior to the exam. The results of the recent Core Exam reflect this as IR again ranked lowest in mean national scores across all imaging modalities, similar to 2013. We decided that innovative teaching methods must be employed...

Maybe we have an obsession for cases, but when we were resident in radiology, we loved to learn especially from cases not only because they are short, exciting and fun, similar to a detective story in which the aim is to get to 'the bottom' of the case, but also because, in the end, that's what radiologists are faced with during their daily work.
The topics covered in the book represent the common and important diseases encountered in abdominal...
