Recently, we have seen an increase in the publication of “case-based” textbooks of
radiology, presenting a series of clinical cases, each one with clinical and radiological
findings typical of the disease discussed and arranged along with their degree of
complexity or grouped along with the different chapters of pathology. At times the
authors use the technique of the quiz, by presenting a series of radiological findings
and asking for the diagnosis, which is often given with a discussion in the facing
page. It seems that a book in which the radiological features of a pathology are dealt
in its details and in a systemic method, according to the nature of the disease, and
the organs involved is becoming rather rare. One wonders whether this type of textbook
is out of favor by the readers and, therefore, by the publishers. Maybe there are
too many medical books in the scientific libraries.
