Intended for junior doctors in accident and emergency departments and trainee radiologists, this book serves as a pocket guide to the interpretation of X-rays. It emphasizes a systematic approach to viewing X-rays, so that significant abnormalities are not missed. Each chapter follows a similar format: coverage of normal and relevant radiological anatomy; systematic scheme for viewing the film; common sources of error and diagnostic difficulty are highlighted; and pitfalls and associated abnormalities are emphasized.

This pocket book is written primarily for doctors with little or no experience in the accident and emergency department and who are faced with the problem of radiologic interpretation when no other help is readily at hand. The book is liberally illustrated with high quality, well-annotated radiographs which assist the reader in the interpretation of abnormal/normal radiographic appearances. The focus is on common areas of injury with the emphasis being placed on the detection of those abnormalities that are most commonly overlooked or misinterpreted. Each chapter deals with the basic radiographs required, important anatomy, normal variants, a system for inspecting suggested views, types of injury and ends with a summary of key points.
