This book has incredible pictures to illustrate its points. It is quickly to the point and would be good to keep during other classes for quick reference to radiology points.

Excellent general reference on Radiology. I am an ER PA and believe this is a great book to start and learn x-ray. It is very complete but is not overkill for us who are not radiologists. It can be referenced easily but is more of a text than a pocket reference. I wish this was our text in PA school.

I'm a medical student newly interested in radiology and this book is a great foundation for someone looking to go into radiology. Easy to read, lots of images, and lots of good reasoning that takes the "voodoo" out of radiology. If your a medical student interesting in radiology, or one interested in IM, surgery, and basically any other specialty who wants to know how to read an xray, then I recommend this book.

As a Physician Assistant I have seen several books on reading x-rays. Most are either too complex or too basic. This is the best. It is easy to read but complete enough to cover most x-rays used in practice today.
