One of the Best Radiology Books I've had! August 1, 2008
Great illustrations and very straight forward approach to viewing and handling many orthopedic xray images. For the price, it is indeed one book that all medical students should have. In 10 years of my practice, it is the one radiology book that I turn to the most.
Great for Urgent Care May 11, 2008

The best basic radiology reference I've encountered for those of us who aren't regularly interpreting Xrays but need to have a systematic approach that will work for us when we need it. It provides a guide for analyzing an X-ray in a step-by-step fashion and gives relevant pointers regarding subtle findings that you don't want to miss and common pitfalls. Contains lots of useful (and clearly reproduced) sample Xrays.
Superb pocket reference December 13, 2006

Excellent content and organisation with high quality pictures. Useful size to carry to work and will no doubt make an A&E term or beginning of radiology training much easier. I particularly liked the summary at the end of each chapter for take-home points.
Obviously not the most in-depth reference but at this size and price it is an excellent supplement to a larger text. Not too sure how I survived a year of A&E without it...!
