Editorial Reviews

Review

New text that clearly outlines the basics on how to conduct and interpret diagnostic breast images. The study is truly in depth, as it covers the whole topic through illustration and careful discussion. Although the natural audience for this text is Radiology Residents (and practicing Radiologists), it extends well beyond these boundaries: internists, all women's health practioners and primary care physicians will be well-served.

1.0 out of 5 stars Much worse than other books of requisites series, February 23, 2009

This review is from: Breast Imaging: The Requisites, 1e (Requisites in Radiology) (Hardcover)

I still am a fan of the requisites series. Read the Neuroradiology and the Musculosceletal volume and both focus on the important facts in a really didactic manner. After reaching page 100, the Breast volume still disappoints me. The author tends to ramble, repeats the same sentences with different word order, confuses concave with convex, and so on. The images may be good, but for someone inexperienced with breast imaging (the recommended audience I supposed) the annotations are totally inadequate. The findings are not marked in the images (I repeatedly did not find them), nothing but the findings are described (leaving me to wonder: "and what about this round structure", "why is this density not a mass or asymmetry",.... Further she doesn't seem to try to apply the BiRADS-terms stringently, for my understanding, a mass seen only in one view is an asymmetry, why does she not call it that?
I guess the key facts can be found in this book, but with a clear concise structured language it could easily be shorter. And a radiology teaching book has to have adequate descriptions of the image material!
My first book on breast imaging, so I cannot recommend anything better but I sure hope there is something better on the market.

This review is from: Breast Imaging: The Requisites, 1e (Requisites in Radiology) (Hardcover)

One of the best books in Breast imaging in my opinion.
Most of the images are of good quality.
Concise but complete. All the needed stuff is in there.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Edition Readable but extremely hard to access images (unfortuantely), April 28, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Breast Imaging E-Book: The Requisites (Requisites in Radiology) (Kindle Edition)

Bought this during my mammography rotation and the printed words/information is great on my Kindle. Decided to review the images on Kindle for PC. Um, you can't zoom in. I can zoom in on my Iphone Kindle app but not on Kindle for PC, pretty lame Amazon.

I don't mind having to skip the images on the physical Kindle, but lets be honest radiology texts are image heavy and without proper access to the images (zoom and enhance) these texts are woefully inadequate. This will hurt the market for Amazon and publishers in the future if updates aren't provided for better access to images. The Kindle Edition is unfairly priced due to this deficiency. Sorry, Amazon, Requisites Series, and authors, this is utterly poor form.
