I am a practicing radiologist in New York City, and work with residents and medical students all the time. This is a fantastic book, not only for someone just being exposed to Radiology or needing an initial primer, but as a review book. I can say this with confidence because the book is useful to me in my practice. Other than the specialty books for the Radiology Boards, this is an excellent resource.

I was expecting more from this book. A scattered array of radiology tidbits. Not anything you can read straight through. Buy a review radiology textbook before you sink money into this one.

Having lived off the Medical and Surgical Secrets in medical school, I expected alot from Radiologic Secrets. Unfortunately, it seemed to be superficial in its content and lack the pearls I had come to expect from this series. I guess radiology just isn't suited to this kind of programmed learning.

This should not be your primary source of information but can be useful in learning some of the more high yield info. Good book if you can get it used or cheap, otherwise there are other better books like Learning Radiology or Squires or Felsons.

After slogging my way through huge radiology tomes, this book is a lifesaver. The chapters are focused and had just what I needed. Maybe, in the next edition, they will add something to do with radiology and computers.

I thouroughly enjoyed this book. It has an immense amount of information on all aspects of radiology. It is well worth the relatively inexpensive price.

The book is inexpensive as comapred with the information within the book. It could help you to answer the question raised by your senior in viva or ward round.

As other secret series texts compliment their core topics so does this one. It's always fun to extract the secret series pearls not found in other clinical textbooks. Explanations of roentgenographic pathology is thorough. However, as a correctional nurse practitioner I read many x-ray films but never the more advanced imaging modalities. I would like to see more standard x-ray films in the next edition.
