Product Description A comprehensive textbook of diagnostic radiology for residents, students and clinicians. The book offers an overview of diagnostic imaging; presents MRI, CT and ultrasound in understandable terms; and utilizes a problem-orientated approach, complimented by charts to illustrate key points. The emphasis is on common conditions, excluding rare disease and syndromes.

A must have for 1st year radiology residents The book is very well organised and is extremely concise on the specific information you really want to know. It is a must have book for R1.The images are great and I specifically enjoyed the Neuro and Peds chapters.The online access of the book makes it very easy to read while on call or any where were you have internet access. | ||
Brant and Helms This is an essential Radiologist's reference book. Helps greatly with Residents. Organ-related sorting of information. | ||
Best all around primer of diagnostic radiology I used this book throughout residency, and this is an excellent introductory text to the major subspecialties in diagnostic radiology. The book is well written and image quality is excellent. Insert boxes emphasize important teaching points and the differentials are well organized. With the online access, you can download images for creating teaching files for board review, and you can read the text online, if you wish. The best chapters cover neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiology, pediatric radiology, and chest. Mammography, ultrasound and nuclear medicine are not as detailed to the same level. I reach the respective chapters prior to starting my rotations in residency, followed by reading the requisites/case review series (in addition to other supplementary or definitive texts in that subspecialty). WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR? Radiology residents Surgical specialties (specific to their field of interest) Primary care physicians (specific to their field of interest) Diagnostic Radiologists (in general) VERDICT All in all, I highly recommend this text. | ||
Improved from 2nd ed. While only 100 pages longer than the 2nd edition, this book improves on that edition. It is a "core curriculum" for all the facts and information that a general radiologist in a community hospital setting should master, requiring only slight supplementation based on the needs of his individual practice. The text is uniformly clear and concise but very readable. Almost all the pathologies are illustrated so little is left to the imagination and the charts and tables are extremely useful. I read the 2nd edition cover to cover when it came out and plan to do the same with this edition. 20 plus years out of fellowship this book is like a refresher course, sitting by a viewbox with an attending. | ||
Good book This book is great to read. The most important thing about this is you can access the book online. I wish all heavy hardcover books offer this I only bring my laptop and read this book online being a student carrying more than one >20lb book everyday is a killer on my back. Thanks for this company that make it easier for us students to have this book access online. Thanks again | ||
