Poorly edited, many images are of poor quality or are poor examples 2010-07-24

By AMAZON SHOPPER (San Francisco, CA USA)

I recently completed my Radiology residency training and intended to use this book to teach our new residents about Pediatric Radiology. I found it to be poorly edited and difficult to read. The author's first language is most likely not English, and I seriously question whether the editor actually read the text. Many words are used in the text that I was taught to never use by more than one chest radiologist - e.g., the word "infiltrate" is used multiple times. In addition, many of the images are very poor examples of the pathology described. Sloppy editing: e.g., Fig 2-54 describes 3 images with a "right" upper lobe lesion that is clearly in the LEFT lung. On some pages, four images are labeled in clockwise direction A-B-C-D, and on other pages in the same chapter four images are labeled in clockwise direction A-C-B-D. I returned the book after struggling to get through the first two chapters (although maybe the following chapters are better?)

Too superficial and disorganized 2003-01-13

This is one of the Requisite series that is not up to par. The book is too brief and this really shows when reading the text, which is abrupt to the extreme. This makes for a very tedious read, and you often have to reread the same paragraph multiple times to figure out the point. There is also a noticable paucity of pictures (big no-no in radiology), and the illustrations provided are of poor quality. I recommend you physically pick up this book and browse thru it before plunking down your hard-earned cash. Addition to review: I recommend checking out Donnelly's Fundamentals of Pediatric Radiology. It's smaller and cheaper, well-written, and much better in terms of content and practical facts for pediatric radiology.

Essential reading for radiology residents 2000-04-02

As I complete my radiology residency nothing has been more instrumental than the Requisites Series. I consider the collection of books as essential reading for radiology residents.
