I bought this book as part of my study for the UK radiological anatomy fellowship exam. Basically I think it went to print prior to proof reading! There are numerous factual errors throughout the text that make a potentially good idea both irritating and useless. It actually takes longer to verify the information in Ryan and McNicholas' book than to read BOTH Ellises clinical anatomy, and Last's anatomy cover to cover.

The anatomy of the bronchial tree - Fig 4.10 page 116 sums things up. Nice idea - pitiful delivery.

I agree with both of the previous opinions.

This book presents radiological anatomy in a perfect format for registrars/residents studying for the part I radiology exam. The problem is the numerous factual errors that are present in the book.

My recommendation would be to use this book as a review of material previously studied and not as a primary text.

this book brings information together in a relatively short space that would have to be gleaned from reading several different books. it is to the point, with good line drawings and is clear and concise.

very useful and recommended book for 1st year radiology residents ... although i don't read it solo... i Google a lot of vague stuff and read more about it to really understand the whole thing.
