Image quality November 16, 2009
Michael J. Ryan (Boise, Idaho)
I am a practicing physician and a radiologist. I am very familiar with the Requisites in Radiology series and have read several of the textbooks. "Emergency Radiology" is fully up to the standards of the previous books in the series in its organization and factual content. My impression is that the paper and printing are of the "economy" variety, which probably explains why the book is so inexpensive. The illustrations in a radiology textbook ideally are of the highest quality available to the publisher, and many of the images of X-rays are very low in contrast and detail. Typically, the Requisite series of books cost $200+ and I should have guessed that the low price would result in lower quality paper and illustrations. For the casual reader the quality is more than adequate.
Very good, with some things to improve October 9, 2009

This is a very good resource for residents and a great alternative to the more expensive Diagnostic Imaging book -which is probably the Top 1 on the subject but more suitable for a quick review when you already manage the information than to read about something for the first time-. Emergency Radiology: The Requisites is divided in "Trauma" and "Non Trauma" sections and each of these subdivided in Organ & Systems, with every chapter containing complete descriptions, useful boxes and mentions to imaging protocols and indications of a given study. It also includes a chapter of common pediatric emergencies. All sections are good reviews, with the Neuroradiology and Thoracic Trauma being the best, in my opinion.
As a 1st edition, it has some things to improve, i.e. images. Some chapters lack of enough photographic material while other images are not top quality and have some labeling mistakes (all very easy to spot, most of them repetitions, not actually wrong label). The book itself is a hard cover but light enough to carry on your bag. Paper quality isn't bad but not the thick, glossy paper of the rest of the Requisites series. Not that I mind much when I paid less than 80 Euros, shipping included. This book has the best quality/cost ratio you'll find on the Emergency Radiology subject. I'd recommend it (3 and a half stars would probably be a more exact rating)
