      4.0 out of 5 stars Your key R1 resource for learning CT!
      Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016
      Verified Purchase
      I bought this book (probably like most people) as my primary CT resource for R1 year of radiology residency. It was highly recommended and it's been extremely helpful in breaking down the basics! It is definitely easier to read than Requisites, although you should probably use that as a resource at the more advanced levels of training.
      My only criticisms are that the physical book cover is pretty low quality (the cover paper was separating after only a couple of days) and the changes in author for each section (therefore change in style) can disrupt the flow a little.

      Bottom line: I would definitely buy this book again and recommend it for any fresh R1 to get down the basics or normal and key pathologies. 'I just wish the cover was stronger.

      Reviewed in Italy on November 30, 2016

      Non è un libro completo e non sarà sicuramente l'unico di cui avrete bisogno per diventare radiologi, ma fornisce una buona infarinatura delle principali patologie e DD radiologiche. È sintetico, asciutto, in tre righe ti riassume una patologia intera senza perdersi in chiacchiere. Deve piacere questo approccio, ma, se piace, è un ottimo libro. Ogni capitolo si conclude con una lista di articoli consigliati, il che è secondo me è un grosso pregio per un libro così "piccolo".

      Bought at the recommendation of colleagues, it is a great book.
      However, it arrived in quite poor condition for a "new" book. Creased cover page and damaged spine.
