"Anyone who has had the opportunity to hear Richard Gunderman lecture would expect only a product of exceptional quality by this erudite radiologist-educator. He delivers the goods! The second edition of Essential Radiology: Clinical Presentation, Pathophysiology, Imaging is an updated, comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of radiology.

[The book] is a complete guide for nonradiologists who want to learn how to integrate radiologic imaging into patient diagnosis and management. Instructors will find this an ideal book for courses; the book can be read cover-to-cover during a month-long resident elective or medical student clerkship.

This review is from: Essential Radiology: Clinical Presentation, Pathophysiology, Imaging (Paperback)

This book is aimed at medical students just starting out in a basic radiology course. I was looking for a book for use by a primary care physician, out in practice, for help in sharpening skills a bit in order to better read some of those films that may be more difficult for the primary care physician. Not really enough radiographs, lots of text--fine if that is what you are looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book for students., August 5, 2009

This book is fantastic if you are taking radiology or in a rad-tech program. Excellent pictures, diagrams, and explanations. I have all the Thieme books and they are the best, especially the anatomy books.
