Chest Radiology: The Essentials

Rating:
Summary: Very superficial review of chest radiography.
Review: This was a very superficial review of chest radiology. The pictures are not optimal for upper level residents and basically this is a good textbook for medical students and allied health professionals. Does have a very nice background introduction, but too much emphasis on chest radiography "signs." Would not recommend overall, especially to radiology residents or practing radiologists.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent General Chest Text for Radiology/Med. Residents.
Review: Very well written text which is easy to read. Many useful mnemonics. Images are very good.

This is a must have for all radiology residents. It is also very useful for interns, medicine, and other residents. In our institution the pulmonary fellows are required to read this text. I personally recommend it to all medical students who rotate through radiology, even if they choose another specialty.
