Abdominal X-Rays Made Easy

I was not quite sure what to expect with this book, (having found the ECG MADE EASY not to my liking) but I bought it any way as I needed a book on interpreting abdominal X-rays. As a foundation doctor rotating through the acute surgical assessment unit , we all know that the most common presentation here is `the acute abdomen' and a good and thorough knowledge of the acute surgical abdomen is without doubt the most important clinical and practical knowledge / skill required for this rotation. This pocket-sized book is a 'heaven-sent' and very concisely takes you on a step by step guide towards proficiency in reading abdominal X-rays. I am tremendously impressed. It is easy to read, with tons of fully descriptive and labelled radiographs. In 12 chapters it covers every basic thing you need to know about abdominal X-raysChapter 1 - How to look at an abdominal X-rayChapter 2 - Solid organsChapter 3 -Hollow organsChapter 4 -Abnormal gasChapter 5 - AscitesChapter 6 - Abnormal intra abdominal calcificationChapter 7 - The female abdomenChapter 8 -Abdominal traumaChapter 9 - Iatrogenic objectsChapter 10 - foreign bodies, artefacts, misleading imagesChapter 11 - The acute abdomenChapter 12 - Hints.This book is really a must have for all medics especially junior doctors and medical students. It is invaluable for the acute take rotations like A&E, AAU, and ASU etc. It is the pictorial radiological illustrations that I love best. I highly recommend it.

I am a radiography student and couldn't wait to receive this book, but when it arrived I was severely disappointed. The content of the book is excellent, however the quality of the images are terrible, and I mean terrible. There wasn't any detail in the images which appeared white and 'washed out'.I checked the pages via 'look inside' to find that the images were absolutely fine on there. I suspected that this book had been scanned and copied to a very cheap standard, and did not come from the publishers. I loaned a copy from my University to find that the images were perfect (well, as good as they can be on paper). The images and text were detailed, and the paper it was printed on was of much higher quality than the one I received directly from amazon.I am going to buy this book again, but not from Amazon, perhaps from one of their other sellers which I hope are more reliable.

So this book saved me in my last surgery exam - because of a pneumoperitoneum. The abdominal RX imaging wasn't much explored in radiology (teachers do emphasize more in the THORAX)so I thing this is a must-have for all med students.The book includes the most common events to take account for, which is a plus. ALways with differencial Dx and pearls.It's just great.I recommend it.

Speedy delivery! Very easy reading and I would recommend this book for any training or qualified professional in healthcare

This product is exactly how I would expect it to be should I have bought it at a high street retailer, only cheaper and I didn't need to leave home to search for it. Would recommend to anyone.

Great Product and a great costumer service at a great price what more can you ask for, i would recommend it to a friend and i would buy again, thank you.

The quality of the images in this book are extremely poor! Looks like a bad print, some images were just black. Disappointing.

Very pleased with this book
