4.0 out of 5 stars best book to start with
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014
the cover pretty much tells you what you can expect from the book. an x-ray that is highlighted is accompanied by the same x-ray without the highlights. this helps to show you exactly where the problem is so that you can look for it on the non-highlighted x-ray. this is especially helpful for those not so obvious abnormalities. if you arent too familiar with chest x-rays, this book is a good place to start.

i gave it only four stars because its just too basic. maybe thats not fair, but i think the reader would benefit a lot if there was more variation with the abnormalities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bestes Buch für Cor Pulmo
Reviewed in Germany on January 10, 2016
Verified Purchase
Ich habe mir dieses Buch gekauft, nachdem es mir ein Assistenzarzt der Radiologie empfohlen hat. Die Abbildungen sind ideal und es wird einem ein gutes Schema mitgegeben wie man Cor Pulmos befunden soll. Ich habe es im KPJ wo ich 2 Monate auf der Radiologie C/Ps befunden musste laufend verwendet und damit eine gute Sicherheit aufgebaut.

Einzig das Thema Stauungszeichen kommt nicht vor und ist aber bei der Standardbefundung durchaus relevant. Aber dafür stehen einem ja im KPJ noch Mentoren zur Verfügung :)

Simply a great introductory book for chest x-rays. It does not cover a lot of material, but it does give you a good grasp of the basics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a beginner
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2012

I was recommended 'chest x-rays made easy by' a radiologist, however this book did not suit me, so I was so glad when I came across 'chest x-rays for medical students' which gave me exactly what I needed. The pages are clear and concise, there is no waffle so it is very easy to read through quite quickly and it provides me with a format to approach chest x-rays (CXR) systematically which I needed. I like this book because as well as talking about the pathology it uses colour to highlight where the pathology actually is on the CXR so that you know where to look to find it. This is not something that I have seen in any other book. My only regret is, that I wish that I had found this book earlier. The self-assessment questions in the back are good too, because they allow you to test the knowledge that you have picked up. I couldn't recommend this book to medical students (and other health professionals) enough, especially those looking for a beginner text.

I went to Leicester Medical School and this book was written by a lecturer and a graduate who is now a radiologist. I bought it because they recommended it and there were rumours that the chest X-rays in here were the ones in our exams. I cannot confirm or deny the rumours but this honestly is a very good book for learning basic chest X-ray interpreting skills, pathology is highlighted so there is no "what bit are they talking about". It is varied and simple to follow. I would recommend it for any medical student even if not at Leicester however it is a bit basic for my knowledge now (as an FY2) but it clearly did the job as I passed my exams!

Recommended for medical students especially once you started clinical rotation! This book is very easy to understand, and helps clarify all the terminologies in reading the x-rays. The pictures used are of good quality with clear explanation as well
