Editorial Reviews

Review

" Though this is not a substitute for a traditional pediatric radiology reference text, it would be an excellent resource for residents to carry with them. Apart from its readable format (lending itself to repeated readings), this book has particular value during the day at the view box, where a quick review of the relevant key facts with appropriate images may be most practical. As such, the book fulfills its goal of being a primer pediatric radiology resource, although is relevant and timely for all levels of training, serving those in their early training or those looking for a quick review of topics while preparing for oral boards will find it particularly useful." - Doody's, 5 stars*****

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to read, June 24, 2009

I like the book. I bought it because I did not have the older edition. The new edition contains the same knowledge that the older edition had - plus some new sections. However, it is still a thin book and easy to read. The illustrations are much more better including more CTs and MRIs. The images of X-rays has still not been improved and in medium quality. It is a classic and if you dont have the older edition, you should definitely buy it; if you already have the older version, you should wait until its price drops more.

This review is from: Pediatric Imaging: The Fundamentals, 1e (Paperback)

I just started my first year of radiology residency (hooray for not being an intern anymore!), and my first rotation is pediatrics. This book was strongly recommended to me by more senior residents in my program. I have not been disappointed. The book is fairly small (about 250 pages), which makes finishing it during the course of a one month rotation a completely doable task. When we do teaching cases with the attending every morning, I feel like I can contribute meaningful differential diagnoses based on what I've read in this book the night before, even as an inexperienced R1. This book is a must-have for radiology residents!

This review is from: Pediatric Imaging: The Fundamentals, 1e (Paperback)

The book is really short, but covers surprisingly well all the ares of pediatric radiology. You won't find there any anatomical information, but for clinical day to day practical stuff, it is excellent. Easy to read in a one month rotation, the book is well written, fun to read and the content is always pertinent and concise.
