This book is average but not worth buying new. The main issue is that when assessing an image, the book presents too much information on medical aspects of the disease process such as etiology and not enough time discussing imaging characteristics such as attenuation, contrast, position etc. This feels like a watered down medicine text with some radiographs thrown in as opposed to a real radiology book.

I've read a number of books written as primers to specific clinical specialties, so when I needed to learn about radiology I purchased this one. Much to my disappointment this one lacked the big picture information on how the field works, instead focusing on the minutia of reading images.

If I wanted that I'd by a textbook.

This book is a must have for medicine. The pictures are perfect for demonstration of all the most commonly seen x- rays in clinic. This book was much better then the Clinical Radiology Made Simple book that my school required me to buy. I've looked at many books in the library at my medical school over Radiology and this is by far the best to review for boards and tests without getting into the nitty gritty of things.

Very good book for students, small volume, exellent figures, simple text for non-specialist.
