What’s new in Marrow Edition 4 – Radiology
Dr Mayur Arun Kulkarni., MBBS, MD(Radiology),DNB and a Marrow faculty, talks about what’s new in Radiology in Marrow Edition 4.
To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change often! Here is what I suggest for Radiology in Marrow Edition4 videos:
General Radiology
- Drastic change is the ANIMATIONS– for almost all modalities. These animations will help you retain the physics/mechanisms/interactions easily and for a long time without actually mugging-up. RAD-IMAGINE is new, its fresh and I hope you love it as much as I did doing these animations!
- Contrast media – no significant changes – except a few updates
Respiratory Imaging
- Major changes in TB imaging
- Rest topics only minor updates
New video
These are few systems that were not discussed in Edition 3 and hence are a must-see in Edition 4. These are:
- CVS imaging – Congenital Heart diseases
- CVS Imaging – Acquired CVS disorders 1 & 2
- Gynaecology imaging
- Obstetric imaging – Spotters, Basics 1 & 2
- Breast imaging
CNS Imaging:
- Sectional anatomy – Must watch as it’s the foundation for all further interpretation
- CNS Imaging modalities review – New and must watch – will provide you a basic approach for neuroimaging
- CNS – Bleed stages on MRI – New and improved Smart-work technique to remember it
- Rest – only minor updates
MSK Imaging:
- Systemic bone disorders and Miscellaneous – has significant new additions
- Rest – Only minor updates
GIT / GUT : Minor updates only
- Trauma Head-to-toe 1 & 2 – minor updates
- Radiotherapy – Significant changes this time
- Radionuclide imaging – minor updates only
- Interpretation modules USG and CT – No significant changes.
Take-home message :
- Watch all Marrow Edition 4 videos (even if you have finished 3 videos these new videos will just be like revision. It is important to be updated – just like using a new updated edition of a book)
- Notes – Edition 3 notes can be used with new videos – provided you add new updates into them as stick-It chits. However, the new edition 4 notes have relevant screenshots from the videos and are hence better.
Watch for :
- Rad-Imagine Animations in General Radiology
- New topics – CVS Imaging + Obstetric Imaging + Gynecology Imaging + Breast Imaging
Is is fine if i can just use marrow notes for radiology instead of making handwriting notes??? .. because the main motto in radiology is images
What if i study only edition 3 ?? N not go through notes of edition 4 ?
Great read!!! Thanks for sharing such a great blog.
