Question on radiology for step 1

Hey guys, how much radiology or cross sections do we have to know for the step from General 1st year anatomy? I think cross sections was something I would always be something I didn't focus on in 1st year since it wasn't an efficient use of time given the few questions we would get on exams. But on step 1, do you get a lot of questions on normal, anatomical cross sections (non-radiographic i.e.- the ones from cadaver lab) or is it typically usually CTs, X-rays, etc...? What sources would you recommend to cover your bases? Would HY anatomy (which has radiology sections at the end of each section) be sufficient for this purpose? Webpath also seemed to have a great site for normal and pathological cts (nicely integrated with gross and histological appearances: http://courses.path.utah.edu/classes/webpath/radiol/radiol.htm)

Thanks.

I've recently answered a similar question here.

Having said that, anything that helps review anatomy on radiologic sections is good, including the images in FA, HY anatomy, or your anatomy textbook.
Website-wise, you already know about the WebPath section. Others are LearningRadiology and Radiopaedia for scalable CTs. Don't spend too much time on it if the topic/disease isn't in FA.
