Preface
This book is based on the premise that one of the most powerful learning techniques for imaging interpretation is the presentation of unknown cases. Although primarily a case book of unknowns, the style is intentionally out of the ordinary, with several unknown cases presented together. The choice of this format presented several challenges, but we believe that the added value is well worth the investment. We are convinced that side-by-side comparison and contrast of similar-appearing lesions is essential for building an invaluable visual database for imaging interpretation. It is with the hope of increasing our diagnostic specificity that the format of the book was chosen.
