Best Cases from the AFIP

RSNA Education Portal

Editor's Note. — Everyone who has taken the course in radiologic pathology at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) remembers bringing two beautifully illustrated cases for accession to the Institute. In recent years, the staff of the Department of Radiologic Pathology has judged the "best cases" by organ system, and recognition is given to the winners on the last day of the class. Beginning with the July 2001 issue of RadioGraphics, one of these cases is published with each issue of the Journal, written by the winning resident. Radiologic-pathologic correlation is emphasized, and the causes of the imaging signs of various diseases are illustrated.
