I'm a medical student newly interested in radiology and this book is a great foundation for someone looking to go into radiology. Easy to read, lots of images, and lots of good reasoning that takes the "voodoo" out of radiology. If your a medical student interesting in radiology, or one interested in IM, surgery, and basically any other specialty who wants to know how to read an xray, then I recommend this book.

As a Physician Assistant I have seen several books on reading x-rays. Most are either too complex or too basic. This is the best. It is easy to read but complete enough to cover most x-rays used in practice today.

Excellent general reference on Radiology. I am an ER PA and believe this is a great book to start and learn x-ray. It is very complete but is not overkill for us who are not radiologists. It can be referenced easily but is more of a text than a pocket reference. I wish this was our text in PA school.

This is a good book to read for any medical student/intern interested in radiology. Learning Radiology is a better book for this level but this book is probably better than Squires. This book is filled with lots of useful information.

If you are an amateur radiologist, this is the book for you!! I'm a third year medical student, and this book has helped me learn how to read x-rays and CT scans for Internal Medicine. It contains normal images and then includes the abnormal ones in relation to a disease. My attending even liked it!

This book has incredible pictures to illustrate its points. It is quickly to the point and would be good to keep during other classes for quick reference to radiology points.

It's not easy to look up information in this book. I bought it for PA school and it was a complete waste.

I remember reading this book late in my first year, and I still keep it and plan on keeping it, it's one of these few books that you feel a huge difference when you read from. Neuroradiology is not covered in depth in this textbook, so the intrigued reader or the radiology/neuroradiology fellow should be looking elsewhere. Ultrasonographic modaolities are not well covered as far as I recollect and this should be sought elsewhere.

Textbook is full of pearls, with pathophysiology and clinical relevance explained as if you have an eager private tutor essentially pouring everything to you, writing style is exceptional, very enjoyable yet very involved, there is a dedicated paediatric section I believe at the end of the book right after skeletal radiology,

It's a unique and exceptional textbook, that hard concepts in radiology are explained easily and vividly (e.g sulcal signs in lung pathology) that I strongly recommend for almost everyone, you can walk in as with novice skills but you can walk out as if you're a veteran radiologist, it's one of those textbooks that can be hard to put down at times, highly recommended!

A must have for NP school. Great book. Thanks Amazon for providing the best prices and great services.
