I had quite a few pictures, but 80% of the time you don't 'need' them. Of the 20% that I did, half were histology slides and quite tricky IMO and the other half were gross anatomy/pathology pics that were pretty damn easy. But mostly you didn't need them.

I didn't have an MRI. Had drawings of the brain though.

CT for gastro anatomy and path questions. Needed them for some of the anatomy since you have to find the portal vessels or splenic vessel or kidney or whatever they asked.

Few X-rays, but mostly easy (They pointed to the pathology. e.g. in world they might give you Sx and then you have to spot the pneumothorax, but here they might be like 'The arrows point to the pathology.')

But I think maybe some people had more difficult MRI's/CT's.

I had more diagrams/drawings than photos/CT's/etc.

Probably had about 10 images on the real deal.

Plain chest film (figure out what went wrong with a procedure)
Plain chest film (didn't need it to answer the question)
Plain shoulder film (ID the pathology)
MR Venogram (ID the pathology)
Hysterosalpingogram (didn't need it to answer question)
Abdominal CT (ID the organ)
Head CT X 3 (ID the pathology)
Spinal cord MRI (ID the pathology)

Might have left one or two out, but compared to others on my test day, mine was pretty imaging heavy.

I think I may have had ~5 images or so on the exam and most of the time you needed the picture to answer the question. Like "where is ______ on the picture?"

of my 20-25 anatomy (non-neuroanatomy), around 12 had images

+ 12 images for pulmonary + neuroanatomy

by images, I mean x-rays, CT, MRI, angiograms

where they all pretty easy? or like off the wall wtfs

One more challenging question was an anatomy w/ CT question I had a rely on a strong gut feeling...thanks only to Goljan! I don't think they expect us to be radiologists, so they'll drop very subtle hints.

Neuro w/ imaging + angios were some of the easier questions.

The anatomy questions are either real easy or off the wall. It's the toughest subject to study. The ones I got wrong were actually the ones w/o images.

What sources are you guys using in order to answer or study for the imaging questions?

Books? Websites??

I have kaplan anatomy and HY neuro, but I don't think kaplan has angios/CTs/X-rays and HY has some.. but an additional source would calm down my nerves a bit seeing that I have NO idea how to deal with these type of Qs.

Thanks.

my kaplan anatomy (2006-2007) had images so i dont know why yours doesn't. i also used high yield anatomy images. i also used high yield neuroanatomy for images as well. and just because i'm terrible and overdo things, i flipped thru gray's anatomy the day before and just looked at green boxes for (1) upper and lower limb (2) thorax (3) abdomen and (4) pelvis...took like an hour max...and honestly wasnt that helpful.

for the most part, the most help was just marking all the images that came up on uworld. learning a chest xray and abdominal ct and looking at xrays for limbs and then the angiogram for the circle of willis and a few slices for the brain (mainly hippocampus, amygdala, basal ganglia structures and location of wernickes and broca's).

Mine had about 15 max. All but one or two could be answered without looking at the picture at all.

webpath for neuroanatomy is more than enough..

HY neuroanatomy's brain steam chapter is solid

qbanks filled in the holes well
