Diagnostic-Imaging Books

Excellent resource. A gold standard for the field of radiological interpretation. Especially beneficial to newcomers to the field.

I am a PA in the ED and of what I have read so far I have found this book to be very helpful and well constructed. It is an easy read and overal worth the money. It is probably best suited for someone who has some experience with x-rays and wants to expand futher or review. It does cover some basics and a lot of advanced stuff (CT, MRI, some nuclear scans) as well.

As a practicing family/urgent care physician, this book has proven invaluable on numerous occasions. This book is easy to read with a great number of radiographs to look through.
I highly recommend this book to family physicians and internists
looking to add to their library collection. It is practical and a real time-saver.

Easily the best EM radiology book I've seen. Well-illustrated, well-written, well-referenced, addresses current imaging controversies, and is full of great teaching points.

I'm a second year emergency med resident, and I love this book. It's written for and aimed at emergency physicians. There are a lot of black and white photos of x-rays, CTs, and some ultrasound. There are also many hand-drawn illustrations that highlight what the radiograph photos are showing. Because this book is written by EM docs, there is a focus on clinical treatment. The text really focuses on what's important in interpreting and managing pts with these radiographic findings. There are a lot of photos, illustrations, and easy-to-read useful tables. I only wish that there were more ultrasound photos, but despite that criticism, I can confidently recommend this book to any serious EM resident.

One must congratulate Harris Cohen and Carlos Civit for the first edition of their book. Both Authors have written several texts before and their experience in writing and teaching shows. Their book covers a great deal of detail and has high quality images yet still reads easily. Another strength of this text is that Drs. Cohen and Civit assembled a large cast of contributors from different institutions thereby ensuring that there is no institutional bias which sometimes plagues similar books. Furthermore, they go to great length to provide several points of view on each topic. Having said that, the editors did an excellent job of maintaining consistency across the board. In summary, this is a well illustrated, detailed reference book for specialist yet, as it reads easily, can be used for the trainee.

I thouroghly enjoyed this review series, especially as I was preparing for oral boards. Full range of fetal and pediatric U/S topics are covered in concise yet thought provoking manner. Cases are presented as unknown just as on would expect in actual clinical practice, followed by description of the findings, most likely diagnosis, discussion of the entity and companion cases. Image quality is very good. I highly recommend this review series by Drs. Cohen and Sivit.

Very informative textbook. Skips through unnecessary gobbledygook i.e. CONCISE and TO THE POINT.
Ideal format for residents as well as practicing radiologists. Up-to-date information.
Quality of pictures is SUPERB.
Highly RECOMMEND this book as a Board Review text, as well.

Excellent for self testing for Radiology Boards with the added benefit of the answers and review pages acting as a textbook of pediatric and fetal ultrasound but in a interestingly refreshing format. I enjoyed reading it tremendously. A definite 5 star.

A great deal of the information that you will need to get your feet wet in the field of Nuclear Medicine physics is contained in this book. I have used it to teach medical residents and it follows the board exam material pretty faithfully. Well written.

Sorenson and Phelps have compiled all of the relative and essential physics of nuclear medicine in such a way that is easy to understand. This text also contained graphs that illustrated points and made them much clearer. The pictures of hardware, although somewhat outdated, also were helpful in the learning process. This is an excellent text for any course of study related to nuclear medicine.

I like this text book..It is a great introductory book, very clear explanations, good references...It helped me a lot for my dissertation

Simon Cherry has recently updated this venerated classic textbook originally written by Michael Phelps and Jim Sorenson. The revised and expanded book makes a timely contribution to modern imaging. I just used this book as a supplement to a graduate course at San Diego State University on "Physics of Imaging". It is clear, thorough and very well written. Steven Goetsch, Ph.D.

"Sorenson and Phelps" is now "Cherry, Sorenson and Phelps." It is still the standard text for nuclear medicine physics, covering the topics well for the radiology resident, nuclear medicine resident or fellow, or a beginning medical physicist. While clearly (in my opinion) the best text in its field, I would suggest that the authors give future consideration for a companion CD ROM (as in many new texts) that helps the reader understand some of the more complex topics, and that they give more treatment to quantiative PET scanning (including a "cookbook" on Patlak analysis using either arterial sampling or modified for venous sampling with left ventricular or aortic region of interest measurement with PET/CT). Sadly, little PET/CT information is available, perhaps the "hottest" topic in nuclear medicine.

All in all, though, it is still the standard text in the field. I am glad to see (and own) the latest edition, and highly recommend it for purchase.

This is a great pocket book for a quick review. Seller was prompt and book was in excellent condition.

This is great to use while your sitting at your scanner. Easy to read and understand.

Faulkner is easy to follow and understand. This book is just the right size to carry around with you to use as a reference,also.

Very useful, great supplement to MRI in Practice. Worth the price.

Beleive me this is THE best little MRI review book I have ever seen so far. It is very easy to undersand and very concise. IT covers everything in an easy to understand way. I really helped me.

Great book. Many of the "unpublished" statements raise the concern as to the veracity and clinical relevance of these data. The old Friedman and Schamroth text though are very good and complement this text. I still prefer this text over the old Marriot's although I haven't read the new Marriot.

I am a second-year resident in internal medicine in Italy, and I have read many ECG books. This has soon become my reference. It is an advanced, complete, and very practical book: the pathophisiology and electrophisiology are limited to what is really needed to understand the clinical implications, and the ECG is appropriately considered to be only a part of the clinical investigation. The authors seems to be people that go around the wards, and not cardiologists who sit in their office reading ECGs without any contact with the real world. I have particularly appreciated two sections. The first is the one on ischemia, in which each ECG is completed with the description of the echocardiogram and the angiography of the same patient. The second is the one on electrolyte's and drug's effect on the ECG. I have always found this one to be a terrible subject, and I was surprised to find a well written and interesting chapter.

This is a terrific book. Easy to understand and very well organized. It is a must for students and teachers. It is worth the money.

no doubt , this EKG book is the best one that I have ever read

Chou is the ultimate ECG book with great detail about each and every ECG finding. This is an advance ECG book which may not the best if you are looking for a handbook to learn the basic of ECG.

There is no doubt that the book, CT Teaching Manual, is very useful for
the radiologists in residency or someone interested in CT scanning.
The illustrations in this book are very clear ,and the text is very easy to understand. After reading the book, I understand the basic theory of CT. In addition, I can tell the different organs from each other when I check the CT images. I hope the larger bookstores in Taiwan can import this book as a reference book.

I went from doing x-rays to doing CT. This book has been very help to me. I highly recommend it for especially beginners like me.

Practial guide to reading CT images. Great for both Physician and Technologist. Tastes great too!

There is no better book on the market for cross sectional anatomy. The book uses normal anatomy vs. pathology examples for every body part and major condition that would be visualized with CT imaging. Easy to read, high quality pictures are taken from real Siemens images and put alongside illustrations that label the anatomy.

This book also gives outstanding guidelines for interpreting images. This would make it perfect for radiology or surgery residents.

This book has impressed everyone in my department. Docs and techs alike been impressed by it. Its affordable, not too big and packed with great images.

If you need a cross sectional anatomy text for CT Applications, look no further. Buy this book!!!

I have read Hofer's Ultrasound Teaching Manual, and the CT Teaching Manual is just as good. Easy to read, many nice pictures, helpful facts and not too expensive. Helpful if you read this with the Webb/Brant/Helms CT book.

Bashar Katirji has certanly done it. Neroligists every where should definetly get this book. With its detailed pictures and details in general, it would out come any old book. Please write some mor Katirji!!

This book is the result of more than fifteen years of teaching EMG to medical students, neurology residents first at the University of Pittsburgh and, lately, at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The objective of this book is to provide a practical discussions of the most commonly encountered disorders in the EMG laboratory, using typical and real case studies.

Excellent clinical book, covers most clinical cases in EMG. Amust to all neurologists and physiatrists.

I studied this book many times (resident, fellow, before exams), and every time I found myself learning from it more and more.
It is about 300 pages, with 25 cases. The first 16 cases deal with common entrapment neuropathies, radiculopathies, etc in upper and lower extremities (8 cases each). The last nine cases are oriented for generalized diseases such as Myasthenia, AIDP, botulism, etc. Each case starts with history/exam followed by few questions. The next 2-3 pages are the NCS/ENG findings. The next 5-15 pages (varies between cases) are rich with very informative discussion about the electrophysiological findings, anatomy with pictures and charts, clinical with few tables, then a lengthy electrophysiological explanations about the particular case and its differential diagnosis, with many tables( key EMG muscles, LEMS versus MG). The case ends with a follow up.
As I said above, I keep learning from this book, and I do not hesitate to recommend it.

Hi! I'm Linda Katirji, and Bashar Katirji is my dad. If you lived in my house in Ohio, you would know how long my dad worked on this book. Day and night he sat at this darn computor and wrote this book... he put so much hard work into it. Even though i cant understand half the "doctors lingo" as he calls it, (i'm only 13) i can see the effort he put into it and the satistfaction he got out of it. Even if only 10 people bought this book, he would be thrilled and i'm very proud of my dad. Dad, i applaud you.

Building protocols for the MRI is not an easy job.This book represents the first step in order for the radiologist to understand the principles that he needs to take into consideration in order to perform examinations that reveal the pathology of the patients.

I just would like to mention about the possibility in prepare a new edition. This one was published in 1999. The technology is fast and growing every day with new procedures and new tools. I think will be helpful if a new edition could be edited, including the newest studies with a 3 Tesla machine.

This book is great and I do recommend for everyone who works in the MRI field.

I got a nice price for this brand new book after comparing with difference store. I like to purchase book in Amazon Marketplace.
It can save money.

This book is excellent for review and for technologists in the field. The guidlines for protocols are extremely helpful especially for new technologists.

Hi,
I have read different books written by Catherine,this one is very good.It is good simply because was written by the Technologist.
I had a chance to buy it at the MR seminar last weekend.I recommend it to every MR Technologist who wants to become better in the MR art.

A must have reference for emergency clinicians. This text provides a complete pictorial catalog of relevant emergency imaging and the accompanying well written text makes learning straightforward. Whether you are reviewing plain radiographs, CT, MRI or ultrasound this text is for you.
Kudos to Dr. Chris Fox and colleagues for authoring this comprehensive and relevant emergency reference.

Phenomenal book. This book will help you improve your skills in the rapid evaluation of emergent pathology across all of the imaging modalities. An absolute must for the practicing EP who wishes to rapidly recognize clinically significant injuries, avoid missing occult injuries, and speak intelligently with colleagues regarding our patients. A 4 year radiology residency jam packed in one book, minus all of the fluff and clinically insignificant findings that fail to influence the practice of the emergency medicine.

A great reference for the emergency department. In a field where we are expected to understand and incorporate a multitude of imaging modalities, many of which we must read ourselves, there is a surprising lack of reference material. This book fills that gap.

This book is loaded with CT, ultrasound, MRI, and plain radiograph images. It's a great reference book to have in the department. I'd say this is an essential text for both junior and senior emergency residents learning how to read CTs, plain films, and MRIs. It's edited by Chris Fox, one of the most famous people around in emergency ultrasound. This is an outstanding book.

An easy to read and comprehensive book. Lots of beautiful ultrasound snapshots of various topics described inside.

This book is a very good resource for any OB sonographer. I especially like the detailed explanation of commonly recognized syndromes at the end of the book. The book is a must have for any new sonographer. The book is filled with illustrations and ultrasound images that clearly depict pathology that is seen in the high risk OB clinical situation. Descriptions and differentials are also given to help in the diagnosis of many anomalies. It is one of the best OB resources I've seen yet! It is well worth the purchase!

Outstanding book from an extremely talented group of authors. Every medical professional involved in ultrasound and Maternal Fetal Medicine should have their own personal copy.

This is a superb resource for the clinician that deals with prenatal diagnosis! The authors are well-respected authorities in their fields and present the information in a concise, clinically relevant and well-illustrated fashion. No prenatal care clinic should be without a copy of this textbook!
