Great, readable overview of the most common radiograph you will see in clinical practice. Probably goes into more depth than the average non-radiologist requires but the added knowledge may be prove to be helpful when you are stuck looking at a CXR at 1am and something doesn't feel right about it in the clinical context. Good to have on the shelf for review later.
