Better resource for the Radiology Written boards than Orals
In the midst of my studying for the Orals, I have discovered that I use this book much less for the Orals than the I did for the writtens. Rarely some of the information is not up to date or wrong. The differentials are not weighted. For example In case conference, if you get a "double bubble" differential just start off with Ladd's Bands as your leading differential ( from the LADS mnemonic). Your Pedi examiner will shoot you down in flames. I am using Wittenberg's Primer much more than Danhert. Danhert's new edition is an improvement, but it is a limited resource.
Useful reference book
A very comprehensive radiology textbook, however, it is in outline format and mainly useful as an adjunct to other books. Make sure you have read a book on the subject before you go to this book.
Very Disappointed
I had so looked forward to getting this CD ROM. It was of a book I had used a lot and found very useful. The CD ROM version really let me down badly. Firstly, I couldn't install it despite fulfilling all the system requirements. I emailed the help desk only to be told as the program was made in 1997, windows 98 or above could not be guaranteed to be error free!! I had to download a plugin I already had (but the disk didn't recognise) for it still not to work. Finally, I got up in the middle of the night to ring the USA (from New Zealand) to be told that you needed to run it through Netscape Communicator. The netscape version that came free on the CD ROM didn't work either - I had to use the newer version I already had on my PC. When it was finally working I was very disappointed by the layout. It was messy, hard to read and not at all up to the high standard of the book itself. Perhaps this was a windows millenium problem, I'm not sure. Still, overall very frustrating, very disappointing. My advice would be to avoid this CD ROM until a much better version is created - the version this fine book deserves.
