Test Yourself on 688 Real X-ray Cases

Most radiology atlases show you the finding and the label in the same glance, so you never actually test yourself. This casebook is built the opposite way. Each case is a single page with just the radiograph, the age, the sex and the presenting complaint. The answer lives at the back, one tap away and one tap back.

The Method

How This Deck Works

The casebook works in three steps.

  1. Read the Film First

    Every case is a single page: the radiograph, the patient's age and sex, and the presenting complaint. Nothing on that page gives the answer away, so describe what you see 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 film.

  3. Work a Section at a Time

    Cases are grouped by pathology type, not by body region, so consecutive cases drill the same reasoning pattern. 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.

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

Answers Hidden, Not Gone

Every case page links to its answer at the back of the casebook, and every answer links back to the case. You get the discipline of hidden answers without flipping through 800 pages.

Grouped by Pathology, Not Body Part

200 trauma cases, 105 support device and iatrogenic films, 64 congenital, 45 neoplasm, plus dedicated sections for normal variants and for artifacts and mimics, the two that actually catch people out.

Curated, Not Dumped

Cases are filtered for image resolution and for whether a real history and a real discussion were attached, then capped at two cases per diagnosis so you are not shown eleven boxer fractures in a row.

One Case per Page

Radiograph, age, sex, presenting complaint. Nothing else on the page. Read it like a shift, not like a textbook.
