Description
Practical, handy guide to chest x-ray interpretation, designed for medical students and foundation doctors on the go and highly affordable for those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment. Highly affordable price and convenient pocket size format – fits in back pocket! Indispensable aid: all hospital doctors deal with chest radiographs but students and junior doctors lack confidence interpreting them. Logical, sequential content: relevant basic science; understanding normal results and the building blocks of abnormal results; then clinical disorders. Clinical disorders illustrated by a full page chest radiograph with brief accompanying text on facing page that clearly identifies the defining features of the X-Ray (in other words, what is it that makes this pneumothorax?).
Reviews
I’m a final year medical student at Oxford currently preparing for finals in medicine and surgery. I recently bought this following a recommendation from a friend and I have found it very useful. I think the symptom-based approach, i.e. chapters based around a topic like ‘shortness of breath’, forces you to think diagnostically and so is especially useful for consolidation. Having said this, it would also have been of great benefit at the start of clinical school when I was looking for a framework with which to approach the common problems. The chapters succeed in logically taking you through from history to examination to investigation interpretation and management options while forcing critical analysis of the case at each stage.
