How to study it

1. 1

   Learn signs with the image, and the disease they point to.

2. 2

   Know the first-line modality for common emergencies.

3. 3

   Revise radiation units and the relative sensitivity of tissues.

Where students slip

• Choosing the most advanced modality instead of the most appropriate.
• Mixing up signs that look alike.
