Product Description
Review
This small inexpensive paperback is intended to be a convenient and informative, white coat pocket guide. It fulfils this aim admirably and I much enjoyed reading it. The book derives from the radiology "Red Dot? teaching course. I am certainly going to recommend this book for personal purchase by those of our trainee radiologists who are unable to attend the course, and I will frequently refer to my own review copy when teaching plain film chest radiographic interpretation. Rad Magazine Review, January 2009 The radiology trainee faced with the task of independently reporting chest radiographs will find this book invaluable. It is an eminently readable volume serving both as a comprehensive introduction to, and a handy pocket sized reference on radiology investigation. The Royal College of Radiologists, 2008
"The radiographs are surprisingly clear and the diagrams are excellent - illustrating points that are sometimes difficult to visualise...This book successfully shows that a topic can be made accessible without being oversimplified - and, in fact, that explanation of the nuances can often make the topic 'easier' still. Well done to the authors" "BMA Book Awards 2009 - judges comments"
Product Description
Synopsis What are the CXR features of a hidden pneumonia? What should I look for in this patient with chest pain? How do I exclude a pneumothorax in this ITU patient? Understanding the lateral CXR what are the basic principles? What are the CXR features of a bronchial carcinoma? In these days of high technology imaging, the clinical value of the chest radiograph remains undiminished. This tried and tested examination remains the most frequently requested radiological investigation in every general hospital. Yet the skills necessary for an accurate and informed assessment are often lacking because of a preoccupation with other sophisticated imaging techniques.This pocket survival guide contains high quality drawings and digital CXRs, together with secrets from the radiologists toolbox, helpful differential diagnoses, handy checklists, and key references. With a practical approach based on a clinical format and written in a succinct yet friendly style, it provides the essential knowledge needed for a logical approach to the analysis of the CXR. Part A covers the fundamental principles and key anatomical concepts, together with descriptions of the classic CXR features that provide subtle evide

Format:Paperback
This book is excellent- clearly laid out into 2 main sections the first part goes through the theory and anatomy behind common cases, whilst the second part tackles common clinical scenarios and what to look for (and what not to miss!). This 2nd section particularly is useful to use whilst in the clinical setting as a check guide. The book also covers paediatric and ITU x-rays- which I for one have not seen covered elsewhere. There are loads of example good quality x-rays, often with accompanying diagrams highlighting the abnormality. This book is easy to read, has a clear index and contains not only the basics but is jam-packed with extra information and essential tips not covered at medical school! Buy it!

Format:Paperback
I am a senior registrar in radiology and have rarely seen a book such as this that combines crux of basic principles, essential approach to most clinical scenarios, ease to read, fantastic illustrations and one that comes in a practical size. The authors have faithfully kept up the same conversational style of writing as in their previous book 'A&E survival guide'
This book will be in my best book collection. I highly recommend it to all doctors who have anything to do with a CXR, and would be a must read for training radiologists.

Format:Paperback
This book is full of high quality images. It's a useful reference guide on the go on the wards and explains the diagnostic process in easy steps.
It explains how to read an x-ray fast but precisely.
However it's not exhaustive of all chest pathologies.
