It's not possible in this moment
I'M still wainting the book!!!

I don't know what has happen...

Great Book
This is a wonderful book for learning basic radiology. It is by the same author as the website learningradiology.com. This book is very user friendly and easy to follow and a better resource than the website when learning the basics. I think this is the best book I have come across for this level of radiology information.

entertaining and educating
The book is really funny and easy to read. It provides lots of examples and is genuinely very helpful for learning the basics of radiology. I do wish it had more on neuroimaging other than ct but it is still a great book

Learning Radiology: Recognizing the Basics
Excellent book when you're learning radiology for the first time. The book is very informative and descriptive. There are also alot of pictures in the book to help you visualize the abnormalities that can occur in radiology. I highly recommend it for beginners.

Excellent work
All radiologists preparing for FRCR 2b should have this book. It is a good start to get a reasonable DD. It is also good in daily practice to put it on ur reporting table.

nice!
the book is in good shape as i received it. and it arrived promptly once i ordered.

Pretty close to a perfect review book
Having taking the oral boards in 2008 I have to say it's almost unfair for future boards takers that this book now exists!

After taking the boards, I contemplated writing a set of review books that would describe the most common imaging differentials.I didn't get too far in my quest and I'm glad I didn't because this is much better than the books I had imagined writing.

You could probably pass the oral boards if you know all of what's in this book cold.So for that, this book does exactly what it intends, which is to give you a clear pathway to the top 3 diagnoses for many common imaging gamuts.

Further reading is necessary to flesh out knowledge of the pathologies listed in the differentials and learn management and subtleties that aren't covered (or attempted to be covered) in this book.

But for oral boards this book really can't be beat.If studying for boards is like climbing a 8000m mountain, this book starts you at the 5000m base camp.

Excellent comprehensive radiology review!
I bought this book as a general radiology review and it has quickly become one of my favorites.There are 325 cases with each covering a particular gamut (lower lobe interstitial disease, small bowel wall thickening, suprasellar mass, etc).The array of cases is excellent for a comprehensive review book.

For me, the highlights are the focus on and succinct review of differentials (Top 3 and additional diagnoses provided for each case).This book is a very easy read and would be a great start and endpoint for anyone preparing for the initial and MOC board exams.For the price, you would be hard pressed to find a similar textbook of this quality.

Well organized and 320 cases
Nice price for quality images and a quick reference for radiology residents. Images quality is great.Overall good bang for the buck considering you pay 30-45 dollars for one case review book.

Love it!
I love this book so much! It is so much easier to understand than my radiology lectures.They have an amazing was of presenting things in such a way that it really makes you understand and remember them.It also comes with a CD that I thought was very helpful.I often have a hard time diagnosing abnormalities in films and I thought that this book really helped me with that.I would suggest this book for any medical student!

Great for medical students and also for basic review prior to radiology residency
Great book that is excellent for learning radiology in medical school!Definitely recommended for med students.In addition, this is even good for basic review for soon to be radiology residents!Too basic for PGY2 and beyond though but all residents better know what this book covers!

Good book
For an introduction to Radiology this book is great. Lots of good pics, and like the rest of this series it has catchy little ways of remembering things.

Clinical Radiology Made Ridiculously Simple
I love these "Made Ridiculously Simple" series. I have a pharmacology book from the series too, and both are great for cutting things down to basics in easy understandable terms.

MRA from BKLYN
This is an excellent book for students who are very new to Radiology.The approach is great for beginners and I recommend that you have at least a novice anatomy background before using this book. You do not have to know anything much about Radiology to enjoy and learn from these authors.They are the perfect example of patient mentors with a caring approach.Strongly Recommended!! ...

Image quality
I am a practicing physician and a radiologist.I am very familiar with the Requisites in Radiology series and have read several of the textbooks."Emergency Radiology" is fully up to the standards of the previous books in the series in its organization and factual content.My impression is that the paper and printing are of the "economy" variety, which probably explains why the book is so inexpensive.The illustrations in a radiology textbook ideally are of the highest quality available to the publisher, and many of the images of X-rays are very low in contrast and detail.Typically, the Requisite series of books cost $200+ and I should have guessed that the low price would result in lower quality paper and illustrations.For the casual reader the quality is more than adequate.

Very good, with some things to improve
This is a very good resource for residents and a great alternative to the more expensive Diagnostic Imaging book -which is probably the Top 1 on the subject but more suitable for a quick review when you already manage the information than to read about something for the first time-. Emergency Radiology: The Requisites is divided in "Trauma" and "Non Trauma" sections and each of these subdivided in Organ & Systems, with every chapter containing complete descriptions, useful boxes and mentions to imaging protocols and indications of a given study. It also includes a chapter of common pediatric emergencies. All sections are good reviews, with the Neuroradiology and Thoracic Trauma being the best, in my opinion.
As a 1st edition, it has some things to improve, i.e. images. Some chapters lack of enough photographic material while other images are not top quality and have some labeling mistakes (all very easy to spot, most of them repetitions, not actually wrong label). The book itself is a hard cover but light enough to carry on your bag. Paper quality isn't bad but not the thick, glossy paper of the rest of the Requisites series. Not that I mind much when I paid less than 80 Euros, shipping included. This book has the best quality/cost ratio you'll find on the Emergency Radiology subject. I'd recommend it (3 and a half stars would probably be a more exact rating) ... Read more

2nd Hand Book Purchase
Except for the minor blemish of previous owner's name written on the inner cover (and that only gives a sense of history), I would have rated the book I received as "almost pristine".
For me, as an untried user of Amazon.com, this 2nd hand item was well priced, arrived before expected, in better condition than expected. Can't ask for more than that.

concise and good for beginners or refrence
I purchased this book as a new graduate from med school as I began my first job at the emergency department.Although the radiologist officially reads the x-rays, I wanted to be more knowledgable and have the patient's chart completed in order to page the orthopedic department for consult instead of waiting around for the radiologist's impression.I read the book on the plane while on a vacation and found it an easy read.There is a summary at then end of each chapter to review important points or tips- helpful.

One of the Best Radiology Books I've had!
Great illustrations and very straight forward approach to viewing and handling many orthopedic xray images.For the price, it is indeed one book that all medical students should have.In 10 years of my practice, it is the one radiology book that I turn to the most.

Great for Urgent Care
I am an urgent care physician and have found this book incredibly useful in my day to day practice...great "watch out to not miss this" notations! Highly recommend!

Product Description

In the past five years, the development of new imaging technologies that make possible faster and more accurate diagnoses has significantly improved the imaging of disease and injury. This new edition of Squire's Fundamentals of Radiology describes and illustrates these new techniques to prepare medical students and other radiology learners to provide the most optimal and up-to-date imaging management for their patients. Not only are new diagnostic techniques outlined, such as the multidetector computed tomography diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and the diffusion-weighted magnetic-resonance imaging of stroke, but hundreds of new diagnostic images have been included to illustrate the radiological characteristics of common diseases with state-of-the-art computed radiography, ultrasound, multidetector computed tomography, and magnetic-resonance images. The text has been completely reviewed and updated to present the latest and best strategies in diagnostic imaging.

New interventional radiology procedures have been added, including vertebroplasty, a percutaneous injection treatment of painful spinal compression fractures; uterine artery embolization, a surgical alternative to hysterectomy in women with painful or bleeding uterine fibroids; and radiofrequency ablation, a percutaneous technique for treating unresectable tumors in the liver and other organs with probes that superheat and thus destroy cancer cells.

A new chapter on advances in diagnostic imaging describes many cutting-edge imaging technologies, such as three-dimensional and digital imaging, functional magnetic-resonance imaging, PET-CT (positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography), cardiac calcium CT scoring, multidetector gated cardiac CT, and molecular imaging.

Teaches the basics
A great book to get your foot in the door with radiology.The author writes in a simplistic manner making it quite easy to read passively. There are a number of questions posed throughout the book that stimulate critical thinking, and the images in the book are descent.It tends to read very quickly even though it looks rather thick in appearance.Overall, the book does a great job of giving a medical student the kind of radiology education that he should have formally had while in medical school.So by the time that you have read this book, you should feel more confident in your ability to approach a chest x-ray and diagnose a number of common aliments: pneumonia, pneumothorax, atelectasis, etc.Additionally, you should be much more familiar with what kinds of radiographic tests available and how you should use them, even if you may not understand all of the minor nuances of each test.However, let me state very clearly that this book will bring you no where near the level of complexity that a radiologist or a radiology resident should understand the subject matter.Its weakness lies in its simplicity.It does a great job of giving examples and explaining fundamentals, but there are far too few of them to make you proficient in reading an x-ray.The moral here is that you should not anticipate this book turning you into a radiologist, but it does a superb job of fulfilling its purpose: teaching the fundamentals.

Good intro book for radiology
Good book for students interested in radiology or for residents in other fields doing a radiology rotation. Decent pictoral examples. Well written book to learn radiology from.

Great Introduction for third year medical students!
Radiology was my first rotation of my third year and this book was fantastic at prepping a "green" clinical student.Many of the main ideas were later stated nearly verbatim by my preceptor.It's lacking a bit on the physics of the different methodologies but for a medical student, this is a great start!It's a quick and easy read with plenty of illustrations and I used it as a adjunct to his teaching on a daily basis.

good for radiology staff
This book is handy to my coworkers. just a review of what to look for with certain diagnoses radiologists tell their patients.

PICTURES WERE OKAY
Review by a medical student interested in Radiology

This book is good if you want a starter to book for radiographic images that encompasses a variety of fields of film study. It was an easy read for each chapters, but way too basic, the author rambles as if you're a 6th grader. So, I only suggest this book if you want only pictures to get an idea of what radiographic films show for some common pathology. The book started with the OVER-SIMPLIFIED anatomy with comparison to the radiographic images. You will need a better book for a more in-depth review of Radiology. There is hardly anything on Neuroradiology, IR, flouroscopy, etc. It was only SLIGHTLY useful for my General Radiology rotation. Plus, most hospitals usually has this book in their library, may be an edition older though.

One think that bothered me about the illustrations were that the lesions were usually not labeled, they were just discussed or mentioned within the illustration's caption or the chapter explanation. The book is pricey for what it contains. It should be worth $40 or less! ... Read more

Big name, Big price and WORTHLESS!!!
I think because there are so few veterinary radiology books that this book has gotten good reviews that it did not deserve. The pictures are worthless and frustrating. They describe what you should be seeing, but do not always have arrows to show you the exact area they are talking about. For a beginner and even some advanced, the pictures leave a lot to be desired. Additionally, the pictures are small.The book is fairly long-winded and many times hard to follow. Also, I was at NC State with Thrall and was not impressed. If you are a student, I recommend just searching online for academic websites with images and descriptions. I found this to be much better than this book. If you are someone that must have a hard copy, I would look elsewhere. If you do buy this book, don't hi-light it and keep your receipt. I am still looking for a good veterinary radiology book so if you find one, please advise!

worth it?
I guess this is worth it if you are currently in vet school.Kinda crappy pictures.

excellent condition, fast shipment, EASY transaction. Thanks
The book was brand new, as listed, and had fast delivery.I would definately do business with them again!

I think every clinician needs to have this book. it explains clearly and pictures r really nice ...

Radiology
Useful for new graduates and those who have got rusty. A comprehensive and detailed textbook to aid in the interpretation of radiographs, ultrasonographic images and more. The pictures of normal radiographic anatomy are comprehensive but a bit small to pick up all features. Also, does not account for differences in exposure and positioning. Small animal joints are all covered in one chapter, where expanding this might have been helpful. ... Read more

havent recieved the item yet
wrong estimated delivery date.did not recieve the product on time.but my credit card was charged.

Better uses of your time
This is the four volume set that I was told is the "Bible" of lower level radiology residents.I was unimpressed.It does cover all organs and all ages but it is very skimpy on pictures, usually giving only a single example of most pathology.Also, if a certain disease is most commonly dx on, say, CT, then no US or MR images are included even if that disease is occasionally dx on those modalities.Worse, many diseases discussed lack any pictures at all.Color images are skimpy.Also it is verbose in some sections that cover extraneous details and lacking in depth on important topics.Equally frustrating is that the index is only in volume IV, making it difficult to access if you only brought volume II to read at work.I read most of it with much effort.Buying and reading more focused books (US Requisites, CXR-Felson, Pediatric Imaging-Donnely, Body CT-Webb) would be a much better use of your time as an intern or lower level resident.

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?

Primary care physicians (specific to their field of interest)

Great read for x-ray studies
Great two volume book set explaining the various x-ray images and conditions. Its also a great price for under $240. This book series can be used from the classroom to the professional office setting.

Awesome series, well worth the money
This two volume edition of Skeletal Radiology is outstanding.There are many pictures and examples so that you can see the findings and apply them in practice.The text is also very easy to read and understand and is organized into well thought out chapters.This is a great reference to have in your library as well.

Happily, The Material Is Also Very Readable And Should Serve As An Excellent Textbook
"Although there are a number of excellent books dealing with skeletal radiology, the addition of these volumes to the literature is more than welcome.
The unique format and the approach taken by Drs. Yochum and Rowe should make this book particularly valuable as a reference source.

Great Requisite
Very useful, organized and complete. Great images! This Requisites, as well as Neuroradiology from the same collection, are worth every penny.

Really glad I bought it!
I bought my copy from Amazon...It reached in mint condition :-). I have read only a few pages so far, but it seems to be a great book on thoracic imaging. I also talked to some of the attendings about the book and they all said that McLoud is a great author and a great radiology teacher. I am really glad I bought this book early enough to be able to make good use of it for my chest rotation.

Well organised and well illustrated, easy to read
The authour has done a very good job of conveying the essentials of thoracic imaging in a easy to read and well illustrated single volume book. While coverage of some topics is superficial, the well organiseddifferential lists and nice images make this book a pleasure to read.Residents begining in thoracic imaging and those preparing for boards willfind this book invaluable. It does not replace a full text book but conveysmore information than an imaging atlas. ... Read more

Product Description

Chest Radiology: Plain Film Patterns and Differential Diagnoses, 6^th Edition, by James C Reed, MD, provides expert guidance on interpretation of the most often seen radiologic patterns of chest disease. The new edition continues to emphasize pattern recognition on plain film -- with correlative CT, MR and other important modalities included where appropriate. Each pattern is introduced with radiographs followed by a series of questions, tables of differential diagnosis, and discussions of the most likely diseases to present with such a pattern. The discussion sections emphasize the importance of clinical correlation to narrow down the differential diagnosis, and what follow-up tests are indicated to definitively confirm a diagnosis. New high-quality digital images and updated questions enhance the latest edition of this trusted reference.

Perfect book for beginning radiologists
Well written, well organized.The book is written in a way that just makes sense to a beginning radiologist in the first few years of training.It seems to anticipate the questions you have & lays out the answers in a logical, brief fashion with excellent examples.While the book has more information than necessary for a medical student, anyone looking to specialize in radiology will find it a well-used companion as they progress in their education.

Anyone looking for more advanced information on chest radiology will be disappointed.However, they should have caught the clue from the title.Use this book to get you started on your education, as the authors intended, and you'll be quite satisfied with your purchase.

GREAT!
I'm a 1st year rads resident and this book was perfect for me. I read Felson's book the weekend before the rotation started (much recommended) and then read through this book over the 4 weeks of the rotation. It's great!

Nice pictures (and lots of them), very useful tables with DDx's and mnemonics for said DDx's (I love mnemonics, so this was right up my alley...I actually got called to take a case one day and I had to give a DDx for Upper/Middle lung zone opacities and SHRIMP jumped into my head, effectively making me look much smarter than I actually am).

This probably won't be too useful after about second year (too brief about disease descriptions), but it is a fantastic intro book to Chest.

Great easy read for chest radiology
The other prior reviews were for the older edition, which I have not seen.The new edition is great.Concise, easy to read, short book that gives you all the information needed for a radiology resident.Covers all the pertinent topics that are hard to grasp well including interstitial lung disease.The new cardiac chapters are great as well and cover all the new modalities.Highly recommend this book for your chest rotation and for studying.

Excellent General Chest Text for Radiology/Med. Residents.
Very well written text which is easy to read.Many useful mnemonics.Images are very good.

This is a must have for all radiology residents.It is also very useful for interns, medicine, and other residents.In our institution the pulmonary fellows are required to read this text.I personally recommend it to all medical students who rotate through radiology, even if they choose another specialty.

Very superficial review of chest radiography.
This was a very superficial review of chest radiology.The pictures are not optimal for upper level residents and basically this is a good textbook for medical students and allied health professionals.Does have a verynice background introduction, but too much emphasis on chest radiography"signs."Would not recommend overall, especially to radiologyresidents or practing radiologists. ...
