Radiological Anatomy for FRCR Part 1

By Philip Borg and Abdul Rahman Alvi

The new FRCR part 1 Anatomy examination comprises 20 cases/images, with five questions about each. The cases are labelled 01 to 20 and the five questions are labelled (a) to (e). The authors have set out to emulate this format by gathering 200 cases which, from their experience, are representative of the cases on which candidates will be tested. The book consists of 10 tests with 20 cases each, and 5 stem questions each. The answers, along with an explanation and tips, accompany each test at the end of the chapter. This will help candidates to identify the level of anatomical knowledge expected by the Royal College of Radiologists. The aim of this book is not to replace the already available literature in radiological anatomy, but to complement it as a revision guide. Whereas radiological anatomy atlases and textbooks provide images with labels for every possible identifiable structure in an investigation, the cases in this book have only 5 labels, simulating the exam.

Abstract

Look for the tadpole shape of the splenic vein (tail) and portal confluence (head). The pancreas is located anteriorly to the ‘tadpole’. To distinguish the aorta from IVC: The aorta lies to the left of the IVC, is smaller in diameter and is surrounded by a concentric echo-bright area which represents peri-arterial fat.
