Objective 1: Format for learning radiology Please prepare by reviewing the pre-recorded information. Please come to class and actively participate. Don t let your knowledge/skills fade.

The arrow points to the gallbladder. What is unusual (abnormal) about this gallbladder?
The arrow points to an object visible as which of the 5 basic densities? Diagnosis?
