This handy pocket guide simplifies the interpretation of chest x-rays. It describes the range of conditions likely to be encountered and guides the user through the process of examining and interpreting the film based on the appearance of the abnormality shown. It then helps the user determine the nature of the abnormality and points toward possible differential diagnoses. All x-rays are accompanied by a simple line diagram outlining where the abnormality is located. This is a concise, well-written, well-illustrated and, most importantly, pocket-sized book which medical students and junior doctors should find extremely useful.
