LITERATURE

In order to assist candidates preparing for the EDiR, the European Board of Radiology has compiled a list of recommended reference textbooks.

The list is intended for general guidance only, and there are many other standard textbooks and teaching materials available in general radiology. The EBR does not claim any copyright on third-party textbooks provided for educational purposes.

A familiarity with other ESR publications including the revised European Training Curriculum for Radiology, European Radiology and Insights into Imaging is recommended. Additionally, it is advisable to make use of the EDiR sample test, either here or through the ESR e-learning tool Education on Demand.
