Gamuts in radiology refer to the complete list of differential diagnoses for any radiological finding. We include gamut as a section for articles on Radiopaedia.org.
History and etymology
According to Maurice Reeder, writing in the preface of his own eponymous text on gamuts, it was the trailblazing radiologist William L Thompson, who originally used the term gamut in the radiology context 1.
