Customer Reviews

Outstanding!

Best all-around source of imaging info that I've seen - and I've seen 'em all. BUY IT - but avoid the paperback version which tends to fall apart quickly...

Must-have

This book is ultimately suitable for beginners and primary medical students. Each film has a brief explanation for its cause and clinical features. More, I like to recomend Primer of Diagnostic Imaging, by Ralph Weissleder, Mark J. Rieumont, Jack Wittenberg, to didicated students who are particularly interested in this field.

an excellent book for medical students

A very concise book for every medical student who is beginning to touch the imaging field. Thought only 460 pages, it covers every organ system with emphasis on key features of important diseases. There is plenty of photographs with good diagrams. The text is concise and easy to read.
