Excellent general reference on Radiology. I am an ER PA and believe this is a great book to start and learn x-ray. It is very complete but is not overkill for us who are not radiologists. It can be referenced easily but is more of a text than a pocket reference. I wish this was our text in PA school.

I'm a medical student newly interested in radiology and this book is a great foundation for someone looking to go into radiology. Easy to read, lots of images, and lots of good reasoning that takes the "voodoo" out of radiology. If your a medical student interesting in radiology, or one interested in IM, surgery, and basically any other specialty who wants to know how to read an xray, then I recommend this book.

As a Physician Assistant I have seen several books on reading x-rays. Most are either too complex or too basic. This is the best. It is easy to read but complete enough to cover most x-rays used in practice today.
