This book is designed to provide physicians and radiologists with a highly practical and user-friendly resource to help reach accurate, clinically useful differential diagnoses in their everyday practice.

The book is organized into chapters that cover the most common diagnostic challenges in abdominal and pelvic imaging. Each chapter is further divided based on anatomic location, generic imaging findings, modality-specific findings, or clinical-based indications to help readers identify the most pertinent information. The differential diagnoses for each condition are presented in a clear and concise manner, with several high-quality, succinctly annotated images, a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted by their frequency, and brief, bulleted text outlining the most helpful diagnostic clues.

One of the strengths of this book is the sheer volume and quality of radiologic images, full-color illustrations, clinical and histologic photographs, and gross pathology images provided. There are over 2,100 images included in this edition, making it an excellent resource for subspecialty abdominal imagers as well as general radiologists and trainees.

The authors have made several updates and additions to this third edition. New chapters on hematuria, flank pain, acute scrotal pain, and seminal vesicle have been added, providing even more help for clinicians when making differential diagnoses for these conditions. The book also includes greater focus on advancing prostate imaging methods, with expanded content on lesions in the peripheral zone and transition zone, as well as new coverage of transplant imaging.

Other updates include modifications to various classifications, such as LI-RADS for the liver, O-RADS for ovarian masses, and the Tanaka classification for pancreatic cysts. Plus, new MR examples and MR-specific diagnoses have been added throughout, along with new differentials for contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings related to liver and kidney lesions.

The language used in the book is accessible, and the content is presented in a logical and easy-to-understand manner. The book is a comprehensive and practical resource for radiologists and physicians looking for guidance on differential diagnoses.
