This book presents the new syllabus in a multiple-choice format that parallels the new exam. In addition, short answer questions reinforce fundamental teaching points. This essential guide will not only enable candidates to sit the exam with confidence, but will help them achieve a better and long lasting understanding of the subject for their future careers.

This book takes account of recent changes in the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) Part 2A examination. It includes basic radiological science questions as well as the original clinical imaging component, and in particular it discusses cross sectional imaging at an advanced level.

Questions are divided into subject chapters corresponding to those in the current FRCR Part 2A syllabus, and structured in an identical fashion to the actual exam.
