Review of G&A's Diagnostic Radiology
Despite the high cost of this text & the availability of cheaper, more concise alternatives, G&A is a requisite for the trainee for many reasons. The most obvious of these is that it is comprehensive enough to provide all the information needed to pass the FRCR 2a & 2b exams (with perhaps the addition of Dahnert's differential diagnosis in radiology). Many of the examiners who set the MCQ questions have written a chapter in G&A, and hence use it as their reference. It is very expensive at £375 but still represents value for money as you will not need numerous other 'cheaper' texts which still cost £30-50 each on average. Although it spans 3 volumes it has an accurate index that allows you to find the appropriate information rapidly. All the chapters contain excellent images and are well referenced.

In summary, the financial outlay is significant, it is not a book that you can sit down and read, and there are even a few mistakes (but over 2500 pages of text). However, once bought it will be a suitable and long-lasting reference for the trainee and Consultant.
