As a smug first year resident I decided I would NEVER ask this question. I took inane pride in the fact that obviously there was so much to read that there was no point asking...
Then I realised that everyone considered me a huge snob and it gave all seniors immense pleasure to discourse on what is the best way to go about things. This "advice" ranged from mind-boggling to mundane...
However for those of you out there who are keen to learn ( but afraid to ask...I may add) heres something I enjoyed reading as a beginner:
Fundamentals of Skeletal Radiology by Clyde A. Helms.
USP: 1. SIZE
2. For the sheer style of writing!
3. Concise yet an amazing insight into the field of skeletal radiology
Chest Roentgenology by Benjamin Felson
USP:
1.Like Braunwald to Heart; Felson to chest radiology
2. Our boss used to say - "Read the book cover to cover & then twice over"
3.Get ur Fundas here...

ReplyDeleteThank you Sir, this really motivates me...
ReplyDeleteRadiology is an ocean and one often keeps on hopping from book to book following what your seniors or colleagues read... I particularly think that one must read case-wise everyday from the standard books as well as the net. However, I particularly enjoy reading Yochum and Rowe for the sheer detailing and simplicity of the book. Also the tables are a must-read and easy to remember..
ReplyDeleteSir my next post is on this very book...Thx a ton for ur advice!
