Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Gastrointestinal Imaging: The Requisites 3rd edition
I am a practicing radiologist and instructor. This text is poorly written and poorly organized.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Avoid this book
The worst of the series. 200 cases are listed but many are repeats from earlier in the book. The questions seem random and are not always related to the case presented. Images are suboptimal, for example many of the CT images are coronal without axial images provided. What do you think you are more likely to see on boards, coronal or axial images? You are much better using Mayo Clinic GI imaging review.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - not as good as others from the series
This book is well written but doesn't have enough good quality pictures and is too brief in some important topics.

It's one of those books you can feel the author is really trying to teach you something and not just write some stuff. But it doesn't have enough pictures / schemes and a lot of the CT and MR images are old, poor quality and sometimes not representative. The book is one of the shortest of the requisites series and sometimes doesn't cover enough aspects of some particular ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - waste of time & money
despite abundant images
i found this book inaccurate, badly written and confusing
i do not recommend it at all



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - good as intro but not in-depth enough
i think this book would serve as a good intro, but there is not enough detail regarding specific imaging characteristics of common things -- I am less interested in knowing about phytobezoars (though they are fun for the whole family!) than about MRI appearance of FNH. i need more meat. well, i'm off to lunch.
