Chest X-Ray Made Easy

Abdominal X-ray Made Easy

An amazing little book. Pictures of x-rays with simple and clear explanations - what more could you want?

Although the chest x-ray book in this series is incredibly popular, for some reason this abdominal counterpart has never really taken off. Nevertheless, it's still a great little pocketbook, and is a more compact alternative to the 'Lecture Notes' series.

Imaging Atlas of Human Anatomy

Lecture Notes in Radiology

Although more of an anatomical atlas of 'normal' anatomy, this is a useful reference text. Some readers have commented that the quality of the images is not always quite upto scratch. Whether you use this book or another, we do recommend using an atlas such as this at some stage as it can very much help clarify the relationship between images (particularly CT/MRI) and the underlying anatomy. 

Why have 2 books when one will do? Although not quite as pocket-sized as the 'Made Easy' series, this book still features lots of images (as you would expect from a radiology textbook) and clear explanations. It also takes things one step further by featuring basic explanations of imaging modalities beyond the humble x-ray. And to show that it really has no boundaries, it even goes beyond the chest and abdomen too. Now that's a real book.
