slow to ship

Product arrived in great condition but took almost 2 weeks to ship.

I will buy it

I am a medical student taking my radiology elective (finally) in the spring of my fourth year. Our department loaned the book to us during the rotation. I've found it to be one of those few books that I will actually purchase to have on my shelf at home (and I'm NOT going into radiology). It is written in a pleasing, conversational manner. The illustrations are of high quality. The discussions are at just the right level for an introduction to radiology. And there are many little "problems" presented throughout the text for the student to puzzle over. The answers are either listed in back, or turn up later in the "conversation" within a few pages. Although it seems long (over 500 pp?), it is mostly pictures. I highly recommend the book.

great introduction book

It is a very well written basic introductory book. This book is a must for any medical student interested in imaging. To get the most out of a radiology elective, suggest reading this book cover to cover.

Great book

I used this as my main text during my radiology rotation as a medical student.I loved it. read it cover to cover and found it to be very easy to read and every page was worthwhile. I would HIGHLY recommend it to medical students who want to gain solid introductory skills in radiology. I now feel that I can look at just about any imaging study and either make an easy diagnosis or follow the readings of radiologists with ease.

Highly readable, a book to grow with

New to radiology, I found this book helpful, and an asset to my clinical training. Also, just an enjoyable read, with "unknowns" to test your knowledge as you go along. Excellent as a reference for those in other areas, and a good basic for the beginner in radiology -- probably the best "first" book to get. Highly recommend.
