This review is from: Clinical Radiology Made Ridiculously Simple (Paperback)

As neurology resident, I had to at head MRI, and CT. Yes there are great detailed review books and textbooks, but the chapter in this amazing book about both CT, MRI of head was "savior" for me. In my first few weeks, I needed something fast to read and most importantly to make this "dry" topic enjoyable which I easily found in those 20 pages.. I believe that not just Students should read it, but every resident doing neurology or rotating in Neurology, it is only 20 pages, easy to digest, and hard to be forgotten. I will add that I scanned the other chapters, Chest, Abdomen I found them very enjoyable too. Another success of this series

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, pertinent, excellent, April 9, 2002

This review is from: Clinical Radiology Made Ridiculously Simple (Paperback)

I used this short text as a companion to my 4th year clinical radiology elective. The brief chapters focused on the common aspects of radiology, i.e., chest, abdomen, c-spine, axial skeleton, limbs, and head CT. It hammered home the key points of the lectures and cases which we were presented with on a daily basis. It is easy to read and understand and the radiographs are clear, unlike many texts which inadequately try to reproduce images on paper. I read this easily within a week, putting forth only 15-30 minutes of effort a night, and it certainly could be absorbed in one sitting. Really a must for 3rd and 4th year students as well as interns.

This review is from: Clinical Radiology Made Ridiculously Simple (Paperback)

As a 3rd year med student, this book filled in the blanks I seemed to have missed 1st year in the radiographic part of my anatomy class. It contains the important basics accompanied by lots of clear radiographs illustrating the points under discussion. With good pictures and pertinent text only, you can count on what is in this text to be what you need to know to handle the basics. I found the skeletal section particularly helpful, as well as the introduction help master the concepts quickly. This book really helped expedite my learning, and additionally, my enjoyment of the topic. As a "getting the basics" text to help with tests, clinical rounds in 3rd and 4th year, and boards, I would recommend this book highly. I only wish I had known about it for 1st year!
