ISBN 1 84110 0331

“Radiology for Surgeons” is a 95-question review manual written as a study guide by two radiologists and a surgeon from the United Kingdom. The format for each question is the same. On the right-hand pages, a one-sentence clinical scenario describes a radiologic image. Five questions about the image and the disease process depicted by that image follow. On the left-hand pages, each question is answered concisely, often in outline format.
Topics covered include pediatric surgery, vascular surgery, colorectal surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, skin and soft tissue diseases, and surgical oncology. Topics in urology, neurosurgery, and orthopedics not generally managed by general surgeons in the United States make up approximately 35% of the questions.

The reproduced images are very clear, the clinical scenarios easy to follow, and the answers easy to understand without being overly simplistic. The management recommendations for both spleen and kidney trauma are outdated (prolonged bed rest and operative management in hemodynamically normal patients). With these minor exceptions, the answers contain a great many true “clinical pearls.”

The organization of the book makes it difficult to use as anything other than a study guide. The questions are not indexed by subject, and there is no table of contents. It is not a book that would be helpful with a difficult diagnostic dilemma in the middle of the night. As a study review for general surgical residents, however, it is extremely well written, with some of the best incorporation of radiographic and pathologic images that I have seen.
