Student Radiographer Perspective - By: B. Troth, 19 May 2008 
Considering the way the radiography is going in terms of red dotting (which has been around since 1980 in the UK) & reporting radiographers, it is very handy to justify a RED DOT on a trauma film. It is also nice in terms of some of the comparisons that staff use eg shoulder girdle & a golf balll on a tee, nice drawings back up what they say.
My only criticism is I find text books with radio graphs that don't have a marker on them confusing.
Worth a read especialy for SHO's going into emergency medicine.
Essential viewing for student radiographers
Comprehensive coverage - By: Trauma Doc, 11 Nov 2006 
Well set out & devised. Useful adjunct for on the floor clinical teaching in the emergency department. Good crammer for exams & for docs in training to get a handle on basic radiology. Could be improved with a little more information pertaining to CT & MRI as it is becoming an increasingly common request for ED physicians to review these scans without a report
Essential bedtime reading. - By: , 03 Nov 2002 When you've already got enough to do, this book reallly helps to focus on the common cases & the important rarities. Good explanations but some xrays are poor (probably techincal or my inability to see the pathology?!), however the line drawings fill in the gap.
This book is excellent for most grades of junior doctors but essential for casualty & surgical trainees. More importantly it is smalll enough to carry with you to work or exam.
A quick and handy guide to interpreting trauma images - By: , 03 Oct 2000 This handy-sized book contains simple schemes to follow when viewing & interpreting trauma radiographs. For staff working in a busy accident & emergency department, there is no time to refer to a 'wordy' book in order to locate the relevant information required. This book is fairly comprehensive with regards to the A&E setting, containing sufficient & relevant information appropriate to the A&E situation in bullet points (not lengthy sentences), & many radiographs to illustrate both the normal & abnormal conditions. It also highlights the common mistakes made by A&E clinicians in interpreting certain normal radiographs as abnormal.
However, as the author also pointed out in the preface, this book is not exhaustive in its contents of trauma imaging as it especiallly highlights the pitfallls faced by A&E clinicians when interpreting trauma radiographs & deliberately omitting the 'obvious'.
Nevertheless, this book is a good & quick reference tool in the A&E setting, not only to A&E clinicians & trainee radiologists (as it was originallly targeted), but also to radiographers & nurses in the A&E team.
A 'must have' for alll A&E departments!
