'Radiology conjures up a plethora of reactions in medical students, from an inquisitive interest to pure hatred. Most share one thing in common, a wish to be somewhere else when a clinician asks you to present and interpret a radiological image. Those moments of motionless dread need not be so; Radiology Made Easy is here to help us all! This book is a splendid overview of a host of common imaging techniques and findings, including plain radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and ultrasound.' BMJ
