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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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...!

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.

This is an excellent text book in emergency radiology. It contains great images with short but important overview about all the emergency situations wich is best for the junior radiology residents.

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

this book is very smart up to the point updated easy to recall and to study i do believe that is essential to all A,E team.
