This is a comprehensive review manual covering every major entity in diagnostic radiology, with differential diagnostic aspects, anatomy and physiology, aetiology, age distribution, pathology, location, prognosis and complications included. It includes all imaging modalities and is specifically designed for the board exam. Chapter organization follows the practical approach of reading films: radiologic patterns for differential diagnoses followed by detailed information about disease entities which are presented in alphabetical order. In between these two sections is information on functional, anatomic or embryologic aspects and sometimes important clinical signs and their differential diagnoses. A separate listing of 106 acronyms and mnemonics used in the book is included. New to this edition is: expanded coverage of MRI especially in the central nervous system chapter; emphasis on new developments in various classification systems such as pulmonary emboli and differential diagnosis of parotid tumours; and expanded mnemonics section.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful reference book, April 2, 2000

This review is from: Radiology Review Manual (Paperback)

A very comprehensive radiology textbook, however, it is in outline format and mainly useful as an adjunct to other books. Make sure you have read a book on the subject before you go to this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better resource for the Radiology Written boards than Orals, April 6, 2004

This review is from: Radiology Review Manual (Paperback)

In the midst of my studying for the Orals, I have discovered that I use this book much less for the Orals than the I did for the writtens. Rarely some of the information is not up to date or wrong. The differentials are not weighted. For example In case conference, if you get a "double bubble" differential just start off with Ladd's Bands as your leading differential ( from the LADS mnemonic). Your Pedi examiner will shoot you down in flames. I am using Wittenberg's Primer much more than Danhert. Danhert's new edition is an improvement, but it is a limited resource.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, December 30, 2001

By 

Rebecca Harris (Hamilton New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dahnert's Radiology Review Manual (CD-ROM)

I had so looked forward to getting this CD ROM. It was of a book I had used a lot and found very useful. The CD ROM version really let me down badly. Firstly, I couldn't install it despite fulfilling all the system requirements. I emailed the help desk only to be told as the program was made in 1997, windows 98 or above could not be guaranteed to be error free!! I had to download a plugin I already had (but the disk didn't recognise) for it still not to work. Finally, I got up in the middle of the night to ring the USA (from New Zealand) to be told that you needed to run it through Netscape Communicator. The netscape version that came free on the CD ROM didn't work either - I had to use the newer version I already had on my PC. When it was finally working I was very disappointed by the layout. It was messy, hard to read and not at all up to the high standard of the book itself. Perhaps this was a windows millenium problem, I'm not sure. Still, overall very frustrating, very disappointing. My advice would be to avoid this CD ROM until a much better version is created - the version this fine book deserves.
