This review is from: Fundamentals of Chest Radiology, 2e (Fundamentals of Radiology) (Paperback)

This is a thoroughly readable, concise and well written book. It is ideal for radiology residents (a must) and primary care physicians. It is a must.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for clinicians. Too limited for radiology people.., September 18, 2006

This review is from: Fundamentals of Chest Radiology, 2e (Fundamentals of Radiology) (Paperback)

I bought it as a first read in chest radiology. Its structure is right and covers most (all for beginners) thoracic radiology areas. However, the picture format is very small to recognize important signs and anatomy. Also, text is targeted solely at clinicians.

Radiology residents (and soon to be residents- like myself) should better face a real challenge- like Brant and Helms' Fundamentals of diagnostic radiology.
