"This is an excellent resource for medical students and first year
radiology residents. A very appealing feature is the
self-assessment chapter at the end of the book. This is of great
potential benefit for residency programs to test their junior
residents' knowledge. The web-based full-text version and the small
print version make this a very desirable pocket companion for
medical students on rounds."

Update
This book is both instructive and a delight to read. How does it
compare with similar books? There are no similar books. It is
unique. Those who read and use this carefully written and
illustrated book will emerge wiser and more skillful at
interpreting one of the most interesting and most useful
investigations at our disposal. I believe that the reader of this
book will enjoy getting to grips with the chest X-ray and, in the
process, become a better practitioner. This book is good value and
would be useful for medical students, junior doctors, clinical
nurses, physiotherapists and all those practitioners in primary
care.
British Journal of Hospital Medicine
This is a very useful and brief guide to interpreting the chest
X-ray, aimed primarily at medical students and junior doctors. Like
all good teachers, the authors have succeeded in making
interpretation of the chest X-ray very simple and logical. They
have dispensed with some confusing old-fashioned terminology and in
the process helped to demystify the interpretation of the chest
film. This is a concise, well-written, well-illustrated and, most
importantly, pocket-sized book which medical students and junior
doctors should find extremely useful.
Academic Radiology
While this pocket guide is certainly not all encompassing,it is a
handy resource for medical students and beginning house staff. It
can easily be read before a new rotation or service. It is not
detailed or extensive enough for radiology residents who will be
better served by a reference text, but the goal set forth by the
authors is to provide students and beginning clinical house staff
with a quick review of chest film interpretation and provide
examples of commonly encountered chest radiograph abnormalities.
With that in mind, the authors have accomplished their goal.
Clinical radiology
The authors have made an excellent job of presenting the chest
radiograph in a simple and concise format that should prove a firm
foundation for someone starting out in clinical medicine. This
little book will hopefully encourage the reader to search out more
comprehensive texts without a sense of dread.
Intensive and Critical Care Nursing
This small and informative text is an absolute must for all nurses
practising in an intensive or high dependency care environment. I
can find little to criticize about this book and will certainly be
recommending it to both my under and postgraduate clinical students
as a required text.
