Aunt Minnie's Atlas and Imaging-Specific Diagnosis 3rd Edition

This is the 3rd edition to the already classic atlas of Thomas Pope's collection of Aunt Minnie's.The book is organized into chapters by subspecialty: Interventional, Brain, Head and Neck, Spine, Thoracic, GI, GU, Pediatrics, Ultrasound, Cardiac, Nuclear Medicine, Breast Imaging and Musculoskeletal System. Each subject is presented by selected images, followed by a short history. You can 'take the case' by just looking at images and/or history as a method of doing 'unknowns' to prepare for end of rotation oral exams or practicing for the oral boards. Many subjects have even appeared on the annual inservice exams.Following each unknown is a summary of the imaging findings, the diagnosis, discussion and Aunt Minnie's "Pearls". The book is well written and it has high quality images.What separates this book from previous editions is the online access to the entire book in electronic format (text and images).[...]This is an essential book for preparation for the boards, as well as general knowledge of the practicing radiologist. No other book summarizes many of the pathognomonic imaging findings like this text.Highly recommend this book.

The Aunt Minnie Atlas is a must read during residency, especially prior to boards. Each section covers entities with findings that are virtually pathognomonic. Image quality is excellent and the discussion sections are concise but comprehensive. You can easily get through the whole book in a few days or read each section prior to a rotation on that service. It is money well spent.

I would recommend this book for anyone that is slight curious about radiology. The cases are presented in a clean, objective fashion, with a short explanatory text following each one. This book is made for residents in the beginning of their training or when they are already studying for the board tests. The only downside that I can think of is the fact that there's no secure way to prevent seeing the answer (diagnosis) when reading a new case. If there was a separated answers sections it would make the book more challenging, specially when studying in groups.(Sorry if there were too many typos, I'm not used to write in English and my PC only corrects texts in Portuguese).

This is a great book for both junior and senior radiology residents. It's not all-inclusive but it's a great place to start for developing a "top 3" differential diagnosis list. I would highly recommend this book.

Great for board review or a quick refresher for multiple specialities.

Overall a good book. Really hits on the most tested cases. Would be a great thing to look over in the final month leading up to boards.

easy to accsess covering most of the subjects and easy to review and studying all modalityies, enhancig ease and fast review

Prompt delivery. Product exactly as described. Highly recommended! 5 stars! I love it! A pleasure to trade with. Great! Good!

This is a book that should be a must have for 2B FRCR exam. It is also good for general catch-up or review for a general radiologist. I think all the cases on here are what you would expect to know about or have seen in routine clinical practice and therefore is good to have on a shelf at work. Overall, picture quality is not perfect but good enough, some images are too small though, hence 4-star.
