5.0 out of 5 stars If you only read one book in radiology, this would be the one., January 9, 2007
By 
Jeffrey J. Hawker (Mt. Pleasant, SC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Thoracic Imaging: Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Radiology (Hardcover)
Simply a must have, Dr. Webb has done a wonder job in addressing a difficult subject that seems to define the general radiologist, the ability to interpret a chest radiograph and CT. The text is easy to follow with key points reiterated in summary boxes through out the text. The selection of images and drawings is outstanding and puts meaning to the written text. Particularly strong is the chapter on interstitial lung disease, a topic that notoriously gives one fits. Quite simply, the entire pulmonary section is extremely well done. If I found a weakness, it would be the congenital heart disease section, personally, I think Dr. Lonergan at AFIP presents the material in a very resident friendly manner and the concepts are more easily gleaned and remembered. Skip Brandt and Helms which is picture poor and especially confusing on ILD; as well as, the baby Fraser and Pare, which espouses a number of confusing percentages and leaves you guessing like a poorly dictated radiology report listing everything but the kitchen sink in the differential and recommending clinical correlation, in fine radiology form.

If you are a medical student looking to get a jump on your radiology residency, a first-year radiology resident trying to make sense of different attendings calling something interstitial while another airspace disease, an upper-level resident trying to pull everything together before the boards or a clinician looking for a good introduction to chest radiology (whether it is to help you interpret films on your own or to better understand the CXR or CT reports), you simply can't go wrong with Thoracic Imaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read, great images!, February 8, 2010

This review is from: Thoracic Imaging: Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Radiology (Hardcover)
Chest imaging has always been a difficult topic for me to read and understand. This book is fun to read, and keeps your appetite whetted to read more. Has abundant images from both plain films and CT, so it's useful in learning about both modalities.
