Good content poor binding

FYI: Book content is good, however the crafting/binding is poor. Without much use several pages are falling off.

Great introduction to body ct

This book cover all the basic stuff needed in body ct. It should be used as a introduction to the subject.
Highly recommended.

Good book but poor quality

I am a first-year Radiology resident that was looking for an introductory book that was easy to finish on my first Body CT rotation. The Fundamentals book was a good text with all the necessary info to build upon. The only negative thing I have to say is that the quality of the binding was terrible. After about a week the binding fell apart so that now the final 150+ pages are no longer bound to the book. I'm pretty finiky about books and take care of them, so it's pretty disappointing. Otherwise, its a good first text.

good book if you don't own Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology

This is a great book with excellent information on body CT imaging.

The reason I give it three stars instead of five is that it's basically an excerpt from the main text of Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology.
If you already own that book, don't buy this one.

Otherwise, I highly recommend it.
