This is one of the best medical books I have read whilst at university. The only thing that has come close for simple language and easy to understand points is the old 3rd edition of Hoffbrand's Essential Haematology (which is now sadly outdated but was far better written than the newer editions).

The wealth of X-rays to help you get your eye in is fantastic, as are the clear explanations of rules to consider when abnormalities aren't obvious or the clinical significance of the teaching points.

I have since modelled teaching around the points raised in this book e.g. what to look for in paediatric elbow injuries.

I would highly recommend this - it is the best book on X-rays I have read to date.

Very good book for physician in any department. Highly relevant content for day to day cases. It can also act as review content for medical students whose doing X-Ray cases. Recommended reading.

Gives you the "bones" of imaging

An excellent survival guide for non-radiologists that need the basics in the Emergency Department. Orthopedic injuries of the limbs, the chest & abdomen, even the spine & skull are covered in good detail to cover your a** in medicine. Lastly, there are even great pearls & a helpful mnemonic for the ever mystifying pediatric X-ray...!

This isn't a book that I'll ever really be finished with, so its continuing efficacy makes it a must-have for work, just like a stethoscope & a good watch.

5/5--a daily guide for non-radiologists who need imaging basics!
