Customer Reviews

Solid basic info

The best basic radiology reference I've encountered for those of us who aren't regularly interpreting Xrays but need to have a systematic approach that will work for us when we need it. It provides a guide for analyzing an X-ray in a step-by-step fashion and gives relevant pointers regarding subtle findings that you don't want to miss and common pitfalls. Contains lots of useful (and clearly reproduced) sample Xrays.

Superb pocket reference

Excellent content and organisation with high quality pictures. Useful size to carry to work and will no doubt make an A & E term or beginning of radiology training much easier. I particularly liked the summary at the end of each chapter for take-home points. Obviously not the most in-depth reference but at this size and price it is an excellent supplement to a larger text. Not too sure how I survived a year of A & E without it...!

Great Book For WHEN YOU MOONLIGHT!!!!

Has pertinent info for when you have questions and there's no one there to ask

I use this book a lot

Great little reference book for those who deal with any kind of accidents. Does a great job of differentiating normal vs. common abnormal. Not a comprehensive text, but the comprehensive texts are the ones never used.

Excellent Reference for A & E Radiology

I work in an A & E department. The author Nigel Raby gives a one day course that bring his subject alive and turns you from 'what am I looking at' to 'ah this is abnormal' in one day....this is his one day course in an easy-to-read book. This book is used every day in our department. It is well laid out, quick to reference, well thought out and an overall excellent reference for reading xrays commonly seen in the A & E department. It also points out common pitfalls and errors made. An excellent book that I reccomend for any new SHO in the A & E dept.
