Test Yourself on 653 Real Ultrasound Cases

The same idea as our X-ray casebook: one case per page, images plus age, sex and presentation, nothing else. The answer sits at the back with a link in each direction, so you commit to a diagnosis before you see the label.

The Method

How This Deck Works

The casebook works in three steps.

  1. Read the Images First

    Every case is a single page: the sonographic images, the patient's age and sex, and the presenting complaint. Nothing on that page gives the answer away, so read the images, decide what the probe is showing and commit to a diagnosis before you move on.

  2. Then Jump to the Answer

    The colored button at the foot of each case links straight to its answer at the back of the deck. The answer gives the diagnosis and a short discussion of the findings behind it. Tap the case number there and you are back at the case.

  3. Work a Section at a Time

    Cases are grouped by organ system, the way scanning itself is organized, so consecutive cases drill the same windows and the same differentials. Every entry in the contents is a link, and the alphabetical index at the very back is an answer key, so save it for revision.

Cine loops have been sampled down to a handful of representative frames. For teaching and self-assessment only. Clinical details are reproduced as published and this casebook is not a diagnostic reference.

What Makes This Casebook Different

Organized by Organ System

Fifteen sections. Obstetrics is the biggest at 119 cases, then MSK at 118 and scrotal at 67, so you can drill exactly the region your rotation demands.

Teaching Sets, Side by Side

Testicular torsion at 7 hours next to torsion at 100 hours, torsion with preserved parenchymal flow, segmental infarction. Contrast is how the pattern sticks.

Cine Loops, Sampled Honestly

Many source cases were full cine loops, some over a thousand frames. Loops are sampled evenly across the sweep down to at most six frames, so you see the anatomy change rather than six identical stills. 341 of the 653 cases were built this way.

Answers Linked Both Ways

Every case jumps to its answer and every answer jumps back. Self-testing without page flipping.
