Review

Ralph Weissleder, Jack Wittenberg, Mukesh Harisinghani, and John W. Chen combine detailed illustrations and images with guidance on the latest applications of PET, CTA, and MRA into a portable resource for convenient reference. Online access makes it easier to tap into the guidance they need to survive their radiology residency. Clinicians have everything they need, whether they are in lecture or on call.

Primer of Diagnostic Imaging is recognized as THE survival guide for radiology residents. The 'purple book' combines detailed applications into a convenient, easy-to-read, portable resource, the perfect clinical companion and review tool. One of its unique strengths is the anatomic drawings. This fifth edition balances new information and older material required by the boards with practical clinical utility. - SirReadaLot.org

"This primer is unique in the way it serves as a radiology curriculum and an excellent tool for self learning. Other books that have attempted this often get bogged down trying to cover too many details or subjects. This one does a good job of keeping the information manageable and concise. The updates and the online tools make this edition a worthy upgrade." - David Kirsch, MD(Ochsner Clinic Foundation), excerpts from Doody's review service.

"The information in each chapter is presented in a concise and logical way with bullet points and tables  that give the reader a quick grasp of the clinically relevant facts about any particular condition.The simple accompanying sketches are useful, as most radiologists will readily agree that a picture is worth a thousand words...Overall, this book is a handy book for learning or looking facts and will be useful for registrars for the FRCR part IIa and IIb."
