A Review of Cardiac Radiology - New Book Helps Residents Prepare for Board Exams


LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 3, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Medical school often comes with years of sleepless nights, heavy books and 20 cent Latin words. When the time comes for the board examinations, cardiac radiologists have a new option to help them prepare. John H. Woodring, M.D. offers a thorough guide to the field of cardiac radiology with "A Review of Cardiac Radiology" (now available through 1stBooks).

Written in outline form, Woodring's book is specifically designed to be an aid for diagnostic radiology residents preparing for their written and oral board examinations. Woodring, a staff radiologist and adjunct professor at the University of Kentucky, offers several unique tips to benefit residents facing board exams. Woodring reviews basic science and clinical and radiological material covered on the written exam. His book includes numerous answers for questions found on previous exams. Woodring also includes expected questions for oral exams and advice to handle any situation that may arise. Built around Woodring's reliable and easily mastered approach to interpreting chest radiographs, A Review of Cardiac Radiology can be an indispensable text not only for exams, but daily practice.

Divided into 14 chapters, the book covers a range of areas, including a systematic approach to plain film cardiac diagnosis, pulmonary venous hypertension, systemic arterial blood supply to the lungs and more. A Review of Cardiac Radiology addresses both adult and pediatric cardiac disease. Intensively reviewing the different facets of interpretations, it also includes appropriate differential diagnostic lists for key patterns of cardiac disease encountered on chest radiographs.

A Review of Cardiac Radiology is a comprehensive, complete text to conquer the board examinations and a companion for a long career ahead.

Woodring has published more than 100 articles on cardiac and pulmonary radiology. Recognized four times as the "Outstanding Teacher of the Year" by his residents, Woodring spends his time between the hospital and the classroom. He is a fellow of both the American College of Chest Physicians and the American College of Radiology.
