Sample images introduce each diagnosis, and other images demonstrate alternative diagnostic possibilities. Bulleted lists present terms, imaging findings, key points, and notes on differential diagnosis, pathology, and clinical issues. An image gallery for each diagnosis displays a variety of typical findings.
