In general I like the format, containing the pertinent findings, differentials, essential facts and pearls &pitfalls. Unfortunately many images in the Peds book are way too small, leaving 2/3 of the page blank, which renders many plain film images unuseful. Other books from the series are better.
I was previously using the Case Review series throughout most of my residency, when I discovered this series during my senior year. Thank heavens because RadCases is the way to go. There are only 100 cases per book, which makes it easier to get through. All of the cases are reasonable (unlike Case Reviews challenge section). MOST importantly, the answer format gives you a Top 3 differential and best answer which is more how "real" case conferences are.
I like the radcases series, they seem to have more relevant cases than some other review series. There are a lot of typos in the book but they don't seem to distract from the learning too much. They explain the imaging findings after each case and give nice pertinent info. I would recommend these books.
