Definitely get this book at the start of residency. Yes, it is broad and will need to be supplemented with additional texts as one progresses, but it is the backbone for beginning study in the field of radiology. The book also comes with free online access, so I've been able to pull it up on my desktop or iPhone at work when I have time for studying instead of having to haul the giant book around.

Editorial Reviews
From The Critics
Reviewer: Colin D Strickland, MD(University of Colorado Health Sciences Center)Description: This book provides a survey of the entire field of radiology in one volume. It is logically constructed and several new chapters describe new techniques gaining clinical use since the previous edition.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide an overview of the field for residents beginning their education. The book is very helpful as a central reference. The objectives are accomplished and the book remains useful to residents of all levels of training
Audience: It is written for students, residents and other medical professionals and it serves as a useful reference for all of these groups.
Features: All major topics in radiology are covered. Relatively new areas including new IR/vascular procedures and new cardiac imaging modalities are described.
Assessment: This book remains a core reference for students and residents of all levels. The new edition is needed as the field of radiology continues to expand and evolve.

This textbook attempts to condense all of radiological interpretation, including ultrasound, MRI, CT, and nuclear medicine into a single volume. The intent of the book is to serve as a ""first reader"" for those embarking on a career in radiology. The authors suggest that it could serve also as a ""last reader"" for residents before radiologic board examinations. The book does provide a good framework on which to build a working knowledge base, although I suspect most finishing residents will find it too basic. The intended audience includes radiology residents and perhaps medical students who are interested in radiology. Few others would be interested. The authors are well known and respected in radiology. Although the volume itself is very attractive and well organized (finding any topic is therefore quite easy), it is fairly large and heavy. Perhaps because it is a first edition, many pages are underutilized, with large blank areas. The reference quantity and quality vary markedly by section. Some chapters include suggested readings and some are referenced citing articles that, although important with regard to a certain fact, are not the best place for the resident to turn to next. This is a good introductory textbook. The quality varies somewhat from section to section, as is typical of many large multiauthored books. This variation may be accentuated by the natural comparison to other texts in the same market that have been through many editions. Unfortunately, diagnostic imaging may well be too large a field to condense into one volume. By attempting to include so much, individual subjects get shortchanged.Horacio Gutierrez
This book is an up-to-date, general introductory radiology text primarily intended for radiology residents and medical students with an interest in radiology. The editors again successfully meet the challenge inherent in providing a basic and current approach to the vast field of diagnostic imaging. Since the first edition was published in 1994, the editors have made several additions including a separate ultrasound section and revisions in nuclear medicine, chest, and cardiovascular imaging. The editors succeed in presenting a general overview of radiology while emphasizing key points within the various subspecialty areas. The book is divided into eleven sections including a brief introductory section on basic imaging methods and ten major sections corresponding to the areas of the American Board of Radiology Oral examination. First year radiology residents are often overwhelmed with the incredible amount of knowledge necessary to become a successful radiologist. This text serves not only as a great starting point for first years but as a useful general review to more senior residents as they prepare for board examinations. This outstanding general introductory textbook is well written, concise, and easy to read. The neuroradiology, chest, musculoskeletal, and nuclear medicine sections are particularly strong. Numerous high quality images, illustrations, and tables including important differential diagnoses are presented. Shortcomings of the book relate to limited depth of discussion inherent in an introductory text. For example, less than 30 pages are devoted to the topic of breast imaging so that only a superficial discussion is provided, but nonetheless, it is still areasonable overview. I highly recommend this second edition to radiology residents, particularly early during their residency, and medical students interested in radiology.Booknews
