1.0 out of 5 stars website warning, April 23, 2008

By

This review is from: The Brant and Helms Solution: Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology, Third Edition, Plus Integrated Content Website (4 vol. set) (Paperback)

This review is of the website only. The website is falsely advertised.

Most of what is described in the product description still does not exist 2 years after publication. The IMAGE BANK does exist and is downloadable. The INTERACTIVE TEST BANK is still "coming soon." The FULLY SEARCHABLE ANATOMY LIBRARY does not exist but takes you back to the image bank. The CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED IMAGING CASES is a collection of page proofs from a number of the publisher's texts, in no order or organization, and is useless. The publishers claim they update the site monthly with articles but there is no such section. You cannot see this website until you have purchased the book.

In short - they wrote a good book, had great web plans, advertised those plans widely, failed to realize those plans, and now falsely advertise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best all around primer of diagnostic radiology, March 3, 2009

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

This review is from: The Brant and Helms Solution: Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology, Third Edition, Plus Integrated Content Website (4 vol. set) (Paperback)

I used this book throughout residency, and this is an excellent introductory text to the major subspecialties in diagnostic radiology. The book is well written and image quality is excellent. Insert boxes emphasize important teaching points and the differentials are well organized.

With the online access, you can download images for creating teaching files for board review, and you can read the text online, if you wish.

The best chapters cover neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiology, pediatric radiology, and chest. Mammography, ultrasound and nuclear medicine are not as detailed to the same level. I reach the respective chapters prior to starting my rotations in residency, followed by reading the requisites/case review series (in addition to other supplementary or definitive texts in that subspecialty).

WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR?

Radiology residents

Surgical specialties (specific to their field of interest)

Primary care physicians (specific to their field of interest)

Diagnostic Radiologists (in general)

VERDICT

All in all, I highly recommend this text.

Radiology Resident "WiseMan" (SA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Brant and Helms Solution: Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology, Third Edition, Plus Integrated Content Website (Brant, Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology) (Hardcover)

This is a great textbook to read, easy to swallow.

I think this is a must read for every radiology resident before starting subspecialized books.
