I should preface I'm not a medical student nor an aspiring one. I just wanted to read this for fun because I'm a nerd like that. But this whole book was phenomenal and explained the interpretations of each chest x-rays in quite a simple and succinct way that even I could follow as a layperson. However, this was published in 2005 so keep that in mind. I also learned that a CXR of tuberculosis is fucking terrifying to look at.

Brilliant book but seems to have lost touch with the times.

Excellent cases but image/radiograph quality is very 90s which makes the internal compass for new trainees looking at nicer images a little wonky.

Otherwise definitely a level 3 book for registrars to stand above the entry level books written for general doctors and medical students. (as would be expected)
