3.0 out of 5 stars OK, not great, February 6, 2004

This review is from: Essentials of Pediatric Radiology (Burton, Essentials Of Pediatric Radiology) (Hardcover)

This book is written in outline format. I personally do not like this style of teaching, as I find it abrupt and disjointed. I really cannot recommend this book as an introductory text, and would pick a much easier read and higher-yield text like Donnelly's Fundamentals of Pediatric Radiology.

5.0 out of 5 stars More information per page than any other text, February 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Essentials of Pediatric Radiology (Burton, Essentials Of Pediatric Radiology) (Hardcover)

This isn't a book to introduce pediatric radiology, it's one to learn pediatric radiology. The index is very complete and it's easy to find what you're looking for. This text has all the information that you look for when someone asks you a question about a topic or when reviewing for boards.

Check out an intro text from the library. Buy this one to have an incredible amount of information on hand when you need it.

I like swischuk's books better. I'm not a radiologist so maybe this is geared more for them. Nice pictures though...
