5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best musculoskeletal teaching files, bar none!, April 18, 2006

This review is from: Musculoskeletal Imaging: A Teaching File (LWW Teaching File Series) (Hardcover)

Dr. Felix Chew and Dr. Catherine Roberts have put together a compendium of 350 musculoskeletal cases that will give you the confidence that you need to apply what you have learned in daily practice. Organized by anatomic location, a variety of cases are present with clear pictures, a clear and concise description of imaging findings, a reasonable differential diagnosis, and an excellent discussion. Additionally, the appendix organizes cases by modality and pathophysiology.

Topics are diverse and not repetetive. I highly recommend this title for your library.

This book will benefit both seasoned radiologists as well as residents preparing for the boards.

This review is from: Musculoskeletal Imaging: A Teaching File (LWW Teaching File Series) (Hardcover)

Wonderful pics, great DDx and nice discussion. Much better than Case Review. I'd give 5 stars if it had some more MR images, it's mostly plain films. Great job dr. Chew!

This review is from: Musculoskeletal Imaging: A Teaching File (LWW Teaching File Series) (Hardcover)

I have been looking for a book like this! This book is concise, organized and has beautiful pictures, in which most radiology texts have 1-2 of the 3. This book is organized by body part, so that you can flip between the pages to decipher between entities, which I found extremely helpful. I highly recommend this book to radiology residents, fellows and practicing radiologists. This textbook reads like you have a MSK expert at the viewbox with you.
