5.0 out of 5 stars reading orthopedic films made easy, January 18, 2000

By 

darlinda m. grice (charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Orthopedic Radiology: A Practical Approach (Hardcover)

This is an excellent resource for the non-radiologist. It gives you an idea of what an acceptable film should look like. It organizes your thoughts on what your looking at and what you should be looking for in your films. The photos are crisp, and to clarify subtle findings, out to the side drawings help highlight the feature of interest (very helpful). I will get a copy for my office this year.

Mokhtar Elzamzamy (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Orthopedic Radiology: A Practical Approach (Hardcover)

Since its first edition, this book has imposed itself as a new classic must have in any radiologist or orthopedicians library.
It is an excellent comprehensive review of orthopedic radiology covering all imaging modalities and all pathological entinties.
It is done in an excellent clear text with extensive radiographs, hand-drawn diagrams and summurizing tables with lot of "never seen before" explanatory diagrams.
