Within this series is a full range of practical, clinically relevant works divided into three categories: ? Patterns books: organized by modality, these books provide a pattern-based approach to constructing practical differential diagnosis ? Variants books: structured by modality as well as anatomy, these graphic references aid the radiologist in reducing false-positive rates ? Cases books: classic case presentations with an emphasis on differential diagnoses and clinical context Joseph Rajendran, MD, DMRT, FASNC Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiation Oncology (Adjunct) Division of Nuclear Medicine/Department of Radiology University of Washington & Diagnostic Imagine Service, VA Puget Sound Health Care System Seattle, WA Vivek Manchanda, MD Senior Fellow, Oncologic and Cardiac PET/CT Department of Radiology University of Washington University of Washington Medical Center Seattle, WA CONTENTS Contributors Foreword Series Editor's Foreword Preface Acknowledgments (Each chapter contains between 7 and 33 individual cases) 1.
