How toppers play this section

Radiology questions come in two shapes: name the classic sign, and choose the right modality. Both are answerable from one principle — which tissue property distinguishes the target from its background — so the modality question is not separate memorisation. Chest and CNS imaging supply most of the questions, and radiotherapy principles add a small predictable block.

Chapters

Built to the NEET PG blueprint — notes, shortcuts, solved PYQ-style examples and practice in every chapter.

1"Abdominal Imaging""Abdominal imaging is chosen, not ordered. Ultrasound answers questions about fluid, gallstones and the pelvis; CT answers questions about everything else but costs radiation; MRI answers questions about the biliary tree and the liver lesion. The commonest error is picking the wrong test, not misreading the right one."⏱ 22 min read

2"Chest & Cardiac Imaging""The chest radiograph is a shadow of five densities, and every sign follows from one rule: two structures of the same density touching each other lose the line between them. The silhouette sign localises a lesion without a lateral film, and air bronchograms tell you the lung is filled rather than collapsed."⏱ 22 min read

3"CNS Imaging""Two questions decide almost every neuroimaging stem. Is this blood, and how old is it, because CT answers the first in minutes and MRI answers the second. And what shape is the haemorrhage, because a lens shape crosses the midline and a crescent does not."⏱ 22 min read

4"Musculoskeletal Imaging""A radiograph does not show a bone lesion directly. It shows the bone's reaction to it, and the vigour of that reaction is a record of how fast the lesion is growing. Read the zone of transition and the periosteum before you name anything."⏱ 22 min read

5"Radiotherapy Principles & Radiation Oncology Basics""Radiotherapy works because tumour and normal tissue repair damage at different rates, not because radiation is selective. Everything else follows from that: why treatment is fractionated, why oxygen matters, and why late effects appear years after the course is finished."⏱ 22 min read
