The Perfect Text
This is a great new book, richly illustrated and ideal for medical students in their 3rd and 4th years, rad tech students, physician assistants, radiologist assistants, and trainees -- especially in Emergency Medicine, Surgery and Internal Medicine -- who will be called on to interpret everyday bread-and-butter examinations.

It stresses the important fundamentals in a bulleted, easy-to-read format that is less onerous than some other fundamental texts but substantial enough to allow one to make the diagnoses that non-radiologists are called on to make. In addition, the on-line material available for access with this text has dozens of really great interactive, image-based quizzes that are keyed to the book.

I would highly recommend this book to all students, interns, residents and health care professionals who need to learn the fundamentals of radiology.

Thumbs up from a rads resident
As a current radiology resident in Virginia, I have checked out this book at the bookstore and its way better than the book we have traditionally been teaching our med students from (Squire).

This is the same author as the website Learningradiology.com which has alot of this material online for free. We basically teach our medstudents off of Learningradiology.com. So if anyone was wondering what they should be reading for a rads elective- its this book, or at least the website.

Great Tool!
I am in school to become a physicians assistant. I was told by a friend to buy this book and I am so glad I did. The text is easy to read and they did a great job with the ilustrations- they really help clarify what each chapter covers. I have done a few of the self-tests and so far they have helped me focus on what I need to review in each topic. Lastly, I LOVE the on-line information. This book does a great job providing resources for further study. This book is great for all kinds of students in the health care field!
