Clear and compact, this textbook provides you with a complete overview of all radiology content relevant to the exam. It guides you in an easy-to-understand and GK-oriented manner through the entire basic knowledge from the fundamentals to the most important clinical pictures, including nuclear medicine and radiation therapy. Benefit from the many years of experience of the lecturers, who have carefully selected and prepared the essentials for you.

Modern medicine without imaging diagnostics and therapy is no longer imaginable in this day and age. Although every medical specialty deals “a little bit” with the imaging procedures of its own spectrum, the radiologists’ and nuclear medicine specialists’ claim is to have an overview of the diagnostics necessary for the problem and to keep an eye on the secondary findings, which may become the main findings for the patient.

At the same time, the fields of radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy remain in constant flux due to technical developments. Due to the diversity and the increasingly strong interventional field (especially in radiology), the areas are far from a “work in the dark closet.”

In particular, the radiologist treats patients of any age and with almost any disease. So one is something like a specialized all-rounder. But there is also a need for specialization: pediatric radiology, neuroradiology, or interventional radiology require special knowledge and skills. Nuclear medicine specialists and radiologists work closely together to offer patients the best possible diagnostics in PETCT examinations. And the constant technical development also demands continuous training for colleagues who have been working in the profession for many years.

In the course of your studies, you have certainly had some contact with X-rays, nuclear medicine, or radiation therapy. But how does it all actually work? And why does the nuclear medicine doctor get upset about your blood pressure medication before the kidney scintigraphy? Why does the MTRA stop her when she walks into the MRI? And why doesn’t the radiotherapist want to give radiation to the demented patient for whom surgery seems far too costly? We want to answer these and other questions and share our enthusiasm for our specialties with you.

With the basic knowledge of radiology and imaging procedures, we want to give you an overview of diagnostic and therapeutic options for the most common diseases. In doing so, a book alone cannot claim to be complete; it is not for nothing that the libraries of the radiology departments tend to be the most extensive ones in a hospital. But we want to lay a starting point for a very interesting field of medicine, from which you can at least go the first part of the way. This includes the correct use of the methods with knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages and the correct description of the findings. The evaluation of the same is also in the professional everyday life often a rereading in thick special tomes and the discussion of the possible diagnoses with colleagues of their own and the treating specialty.

Special thanks go to our author colleagues, without whom this book would not be equipped with so much expertise: Dr. Blum, Dr. Kremers, Dr. Wenker, Dr. Heilsberg, and Dr. Münstermann. We would also like to thank our colleagues Heinrich Rühe, Madlen Hagemann, and Dominika Kotas, as well as Dr. Matthias Göb, who actively supported us in compiling the images.

Further thanks go to the staff at Springer-Verlag, above all to Mrs. Rose-Marie Doyon in project management, for the opportunity to make this book a reality and for the corresponding support.

We welcome suggestions and comments from you to further develop the book and adapt it to the needs of our readers.

We hope that this book will be a valuable companion for you as a student in clinical traineeship or PJ and also as a resident in radiology, nuclear medicine, or radiotherapy in your everyday student and professional life.
