This book is a good reference as well as learning tool. It includes many glossy prints of actual bone density scans with descriptions and instructions for interpretation. It has a good section on identifying artifacts and evaluating the adequacy of the scans. There's not much description of secondary causes of osteoporosis but that information can be obtained elsewhere. In all, a good learning and reference book, esp. for physicians.

This is the single most important resourse that any physician performing DEXA scans should have in his or her library. It is a reference used frequently and is a great review of the state of the art of bone density. Two copies are useful, if the first is misplaced. A must read for physicians starting the bone densitometry business.

I am in the process of reading this book now, and it seems quite good, but I wanted to get this piece of info out there to others. Another review indicated the CME has expired. This person was referring to a prior edition. For the third edition (and I have confirmed this by email with the Foundation for Osteoporosis and Education in Oakland, CA)30 hrs. of CME is available until Sept. 1, 2012.

The book itself has a lot of good information. But if you were ordering it for the CME credits, don't they expired over a year ago. I think they should tell you that in the description. It was a big waste of my time.

Dear Sir / Madam:

I am looking for any text book about RADIOGRAPHIC CRITIQUE except from McQuillen-Martensen and the best Medical Dictionary.

Thank you for sending my previous orders. I am now a Registered Canadian Medical Radiologic Technologist in Canada after successfully passing the CAMRT Exams.

Thank you once again.

Sincerely,

Janette P. Lee
