Book Overview
Here's a concise, yet comprehensive new text featuring the basic elements of chest radiograph interpretation and suggested approaches to common clinical problems. This new addition to W.B. Saunders' popular "Fundamentals of Radiology" Series is designed for ease of use in the clinical setting as an up-to-date resource organized by etiology within specific anatomic sites. A wealth of clearly reproduced radiographs and CTs illustrate the key findings of the most common cardiopulmonary diseases.
Diagnostic algorithms help identify when plain radiography, CT, or MRI should be the next step in a patient's evaluation.Concisely edited chapters allow readers to absorb the information they need in a short period of time.
Tables lucidly explain the basic differentials of chest radiographic findings.Clinical tips and "pearls" found throughout the text deliver practical information on interpreting chest x-rays.
Examples of common cardiovascular diseases and their evaluation, as well as some coverage of rare cardiopulmonary diseases, facilitate evaluation.The text, tables, and photographs of artifacts assist readers in identifying the causes of "pseudo-masses" and avoiding unnecessary work-ups.

great book

This is a thoroughly readable, concise and well written book. It is ideal for radiology residents (a must) and primary care physicians. It is a must.
Good for clinicians. Too limited for radiology people..

I bought it as a first read in chest radiology. Its structure is right and covers most (all for beginners) thoracic radiology areas. However, the picture format is very small to recognize important signs and anatomy. Also, text is targeted solely at clinicians. Radiology residents (and soon to be residents- like myself) should better face a real challenge- like Brant and Helms' Fundamentals of diagnostic radiology.
