Thumbs up from a rads resident:

As a current radiology resident in Virginia, I have checked out this book at the bookstore and its way better than the book we have traditionally been teaching our med students from (Squire).

An okay introduction to radiology.:

At times I found this book to be lacking in detail.

It is particularly lacking in most of the subspecialties (e.g. neuroradiology, GI, body, more in-depth MSK) of radiology.
