I graduated chiropractic school this year. I used this book in school and found this it to be filled with lots of info on soft and hard tissue pathology. The radiographs are excellent in this book. Every condition from spinal bifida occulta to fibrous dysplasia is described with the utmost detail. Every chapter has a helpful summary that summarizes all the important points of each condition. I also used this book to help me study for Part II, III and IV of the National Boards. However, if you really want a great book to study for the national boards do what my study group and I did, get the following:National Board of Chiropractic Part II Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick LeonardiNational Board of Chiropractic Part III Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations by Patrick LeonardiNational Board of Chiropractic Part IV Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers (Volume 1) and (Volume 2)The questions in these last 4 study guides are right on with the kind of questions encountered on the National Boards. These 5 books contributed greatly to helping my study group and I pass the boards. For example the Part IV Study Guide had great sections on chiropractic technique, clinical impression and x-ray diagnosis. It presented the questions just like on the exam. These 5 books are must buys.
I have used this book extensively in studying both normal and abnormal radiology while in chiropractic school. It is great for anyone studying radiology no matter what their profession is. However, if you're like me and often want quick answers that aren't full of verbiage then you'll often find yourself putting this book set down and simply going online to look up conditions. I have found websites such as radiopaedia.org and learningradiology.com as well as medscape to conquer the task much better and clearer than these books.However, if you're in practice and want some "go to" books than I recommend this series. If you're a student trying to get by then I would highly recommend just using the above websites for your studies. It saves a bunch of time and hassle.
Don't be fooled. This is advertised as a 2-volume set, which means to me 2 books. That is NOT what you get! Well none of these seller's deliver the 2nd volume. Totally wrong. I will be returning it.
The book covers all aspects of radiological human body. The pathologies are well divided, the images have very good quality, there are many images of x-ray. Overall, the book is very cheap for the amount of information. One of the best purchases I made for my studies in chiropractic.
An exhaustive text on skeletal radiology. Though my experience is limited, it would certainly seem that if its not in here we don't know about it yet...perhaps thats too great a generalization but this text will definitely prove beneficial beyond the classroom as many doctors can attest.
useful radiographic textbook for the orthopaedic surgeon. contains short overview of the disease described in each chapter and a lot of x-rays demonstrating radiographic findings. we found it useful for our residents before exams and during daily work.
Purchased this set from the publisher at volume student discount. I have used other radiology texts for more info, more radiographs, and so forth. But in all honesty, Y&R cover it all. From X-Ray set up and positioning to every fracture and disease out there - at least for Chiropractors. There are well-labeled radiographs with every condition. Arrows on radiographs are not covering valuable information. This is not a CT, MRI, or sonography text - none of those subjects are covered. It seems to be the standard for chiropractic colleges. Pity there is no electronic version for iPad or a laptop. I would recommend using this text only and don't bother with Marchiori or Eisenstein - not even used. The only other recommendation is using a normal variant text, which is covered by Y&R, but there are so many normal variants that entire texts are written about them. Buy a used copy of normal variants which can be had fairly inexpensively after you graduate.
An essential text for all chiropractic and medical students as well as practicing doctors. Useful write-ups on hundreds of conditions. Wonderful coverage of arthritides and tumors. Huge section on normals and a small section on positioning. The only place it's lacking is in chest and abdomen, and that's because it's a book on skeletal radiology. I couldn't do without it.
