Abdominal X-Rays Made Easy

by Dr. James D. Begg

This lively and entertaining manual on how to interpret abdominal radiographs will be invaluable to all medical students and junior doctors and has been written by a practising radiologist with many years' experience of teaching the subject. It outlines the few simple rules you need to follow, then explains how to sort out the initial and apparently overwhelming jumble of information which constitutes the abdominal X-ray. Knowledge of its contents will provide a secure base for tackling exams and the subsequent challenges of clinical practice.

Flew through this useful, concise, and surprisingly humorous guide! And no, I am not above putting my required reading here to meet my challenge goal. 😂

Beautiful black and white photos. Framable, even!

[Julia Hingley]

Gotta love a radiology textbook with enough faith in its text to believe being able to see the films isn't necessary. Rock on!

Well illustrated, well explained, well put out.

Definitely had no time for a "systemic approach to x-rays" or a "review/question section". But I'm sure it covers the basics to prepare you to find another review book.

Some of the causes of diseases were rushed, but that's understandable, since explaining pathology would deter from the main subject of x-ray.
