EDITORIAL REVIEWS | Product Description This succinct, well-illustrated handbook covers all the essentials in the interpretation of the chest X-ray. Describing the range of common radiological problems likely to be encountered, it takes the reader step-by-step through the process of examining and interpreting the film based on the appearance of the abnormality shown. It then assists in determining the nature of the abnormality and points towards possible differential diagnosis. Also included is advice on how to examine an X-ray, how to check its technical quality, and how to identify the location of the lesion. |
CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 7 reviews)
| Very good product by M. Alo (Tinley Park, IL USA) 5 Stars June 29, 2008 This is a much more condensed and useful book than Fellen's. Lots of little CXRs with a good approach to tackling them. Both Fellens and this one are good. Fellen's is more a medical student level book, kinda like Dubin EKGs. While this is more on intern, resident level. But even my medical students enjoy this one.
There is also an abdominal film xray book similar to this one. Also very good. No one ever explains how to look at abdominal films, this does a good job.
| | Just the right amount of info by CJ (Seattle, WA USA) 5 Stars November 25, 2005 Great little reference book. I am a FNP, and this is exactly the lecture I had wished I had on chest x-rays boiled to one simple readable book. Good for anyone just learning about them, and enough info to make you competant. Anything past this, ask a radiologist.
| | Just the right size to fit in your coat pocket! by Mrudula (New Zealand) 5 Stars September 21, 2002 This little book starts off by actually teaching you HOW to read a CXR. Not many books do that ... they just assume that you can. Then it goes into the four broad categories of abnormalities: 1) too white, 2) too black, 3) too large and 4) in the wrong place which helps you to categorise abnormalities. Then all the major conditions (e.g. pneumonia, COPD, malignancies etc.) are reviewed under each category. Read this before you start you clinical years and keep it in your coat pocket along with 'The ECG made easy'. Look at heaps of CXRs and ECGs from the beginning of the year along with the help of these books. Practice makes perfect! Good luck! I wish someone had told me these things at the beginning of the year! ;)

| | Great book for first year P.A. students studying radiology. 5 Stars May 30, 1999 This book teaches the basics such as pneumonia, pneumothorax, and other abnormal thoracic conditions through the use of x-rays. It explains the abnormal findings of each x-ray in a clear and easily understandable manner. Best book I've seen so far on chest x-rays.
