help with CT scans

I tend to have trouble interpreting CT scans, especially for GI organ system questions. Are there any resources that are helpful for this? I went through the HY images in first aid, but I am worried that if a question comes up on an exam I won't be confident in my answer.

I had asked this same question numerous times during my prep.

Interestingly enough, I found Kaplan QBank helped me learn CTs really well. By the time I finished KQB, I felt pretty comfortable with CTs of the thorax and abdomen.

You really just have to do a ton of practice questions. Eventually, you will have seen enough CT questions that you'll have had exposure to at least 90% of what they could throw at you. The other 10% is random stuff none of us could prepare for, so there's no point in freaking out. I had a bizarre x-ray image on my exam that I couldn't have prepared for unless I had been a radiologist myself.

Other than the kaplan Qbank, are there any other HY radio/histo images we should look at to better prepare ourselves?

I would like to know as well.

Gray's Anatomy Review has a ton of question-based X-ray/CT/MRI/angio images at the end of each chapter. Maybe 50-100 total? The book itself is too low yield for step but might be useful if you were never taught basic radiology.

I got this site from this forum only; found it really helpful.

Some of the Kaplan Anatomy videos were also good in understanding basic CT scans at different vertebral levels.

Those 10 questions were pretty challenging, to say the least.
