4.0 out of 5 stars Great starting point for radiology residents, March 31, 2000

By	Felipe J. Arias (Weston, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Gastrointestinal Radiology: the Requisites (Hardcover)

Following the quality standard set by the Radiology Requisites Series, this revised version of the original publication presents the radiographic evaluation of the gastrointestinal system in a time-efficient, yet comprehensive manner. It certainly prepares the groundwork for more detailed texts. The book is divided in eight chapters of moderate length and plenty of images to help solidify concepts. Although gastrointestinal radiology may not be one of the most sought out themes by the radiology residents, this book makes it an enjoyable experience.

2.0 out of 5 stars not as good as others from the series, March 14, 2007

By	Tom "raindog" (Brazil) - See all my reviews

This book is well written but doesn't have enough good quality pictures and is too brief in some important topics.

It's one of those books you can feel the author is really trying to teach you something and not just write some stuff. But it doesn't have enough pictures / schemes and a lot of the CT and MR images are old, poor quality and sometimes not representative. The book is one of the shortest of the requisites series and sometimes doesn't cover enough aspects of some particular topics. There's not a word about specific collateral vessels in portal hypertension.

I have had a great experience with the Mayo Clinic Gastrointestinal Imaging Review book which I would recommend instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars good as intro but not in-depth enough, August 22, 2006

By	D. Altman "rad resident" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

i think this book would serve as a good intro, but there is not enough detail regarding specific imaging characteristics of common things -- I am less interested in knowing about phytobezoars (though they are fun for the whole family!) than about MRI appearance of FNH. i need more meat. well, i'm off to lunch.
