Product Description
Product Description
This is a small pocketbook that will help the junior doctor in the interpretation of the chest X-ray. Translated into over a dozen languages, this book has been widely praised for making interpretation of the chest X-ray as simple as possible. It describes the range of conditions likely to be encountered on the wards and guides the doctor through the process of examining and interpreting the film based on the appearance of the abnormality shown. It then assists the doctor in determining the nature of the abnormality and points the clinician towards a possible differential diagnosis. The book covers the range of common radiological problems the junior doctors are faced with starting with the appearance of the film, example showing generalised shadowing or a coin lesion. It gives advice on how to examine an X-ray, how to check its technical quality and how to identify where the lesion is. All the X-rays are accompanied by a simple line diagram outlining where the abnormality is.

Format:Paperback
A well written book, with clear pictures and a logical approach. One is left with the only wish to have yet more practical examples. Very good value for money. I would recommend it to any medical student and junior doctor.

I needed this book and kind of missed it for quite a while. Since I moved from Germany into England I did not really now how you guys present xrays, and I was a bit helpless if I had to do it on the wardrounds. After looking around for quite a while I found this little booklet, and it was the perfect solution for my problems.
I learned how to present xrays, and all the important words I need to learn.
It is not a radiology textbook, but I did not need it for that.
It is more a textbook on how to learn a very structured approach on presenting different kinds of xrays.
I would recommend it for anybody who is supposed to read xrays in an intelligent way!

Excellent book. Films are a little small (to be expected with a book of this size) and some of the fine detail is a little hard to see. That said, the text is excellent and it is approached in a structured and logical way. Perhaps it could expand on some more clinical aspects of the films (e.g. causes of consolidation etc) but I suppose that is outside the scope of this book.
