EDiR - The Essential Guide

The main objective of this new edition is to facilitate the learning of radiology through a handbook that includes all disciplines of radiology. It is aimed to guide young trainees from the beginning of their radiology training and help them in the preparation of the European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR).

The 2nd edition features new cases in all the subspecialities, now including also Hybrid Imaging, Informatics (with some information regarding Artificial Intelligence) and Physics.

The book is intended to be a reference in the field of radiology providing a standardised study opportunity of the specialty following the outline of EDiR. The content has been selected and supervised by the members of the different committees responsible for the examination.

Each chapter is structured in three sections similar to the European exam: a first section with Multiple Response Questions (MRQs), a second section with Short Cases (SCs) and, finally, cases of clinicalreasoning (CORE). For a deeper understanding, this new edition features 30 exclusive videos that complement the text. These engaging visuals enhance the learning experience, making complex concepts easier to grasp.

The reader is exposed to questions and problems as they arise in the European examination. It covers technical, security and management aspects, all of which are included in the European curriculum and which form part of the content of the exam.
