Essential Radiology: Clinical Presentation Pathophysiology Imaging by Richard B. Gunderman

Essential Radiology: Clinical Presentation Pathophysiology Imaging by Richard B. Gunderman
"Ideal for medical students...impressive...the appendix of normal cross-sectional anatomy, with labeled structures and corresponding illustrations, is an exceptional and convenient reference. Image quality is superior and appropriately thorough for an educational tool. It is a challenging yet important task to teach students the role of radiology in clinical medicine. This book serves its purpose of explaining which examinations to order and why they are appropriate. It is appropriately priced at $59.95 and would be a suitable reference for any medical school course. It is recommended especially for anyone considering a career in radiology. The text is aptly written for students yet is sophisticated enough to foster interest in residents and practicing physicians looking to expand their understanding of radiology."--Radiology

Lange Medical Books: Pathophysiology of Blood Disorders by Howard Franklin Bunn, Jon C. Aster

Lange Medical Books: Pathophysiology of Blood Disorders by Howard Franklin Bunn, Jon C. Aster

"This is a superb book. Deceptively small, yet packs a wallop. The emphasis on principles instead of practice is welcome....The text is clear, concise, and surprisingly approachable for what could have been a very dense and dry discussion. I could not put this book down and read it entirely in one sitting. When was the last time anyone found a hematology textbook so riveting?"
