Customer Reviews

A must for anyone studying Skeletal Radiology - unrivalled.
This book is probably the best reference available for those studying skeletal radiology. It starts by walking the reader through the (essential) learning of normal raiographic anatomy and the identification of congenital anomolies. It shows the measurements and figures that one must know when evaluating for abnormalities in any part of the skeleton (alignment etc.). It is then split up into sections such as arthridities, tumours, metabolic disorders etc, giving the reader a firm foundation on which to go and study X-rays. It is not however, a substitution for the ACTUAL reading of Xrays, merely an accompainment. Well worth the price!

Most Comprehensive
For all students of Chiropractic and for doctors to refer to time and time again for those interesting cases that always seem to show up in the office. Very detailed and practical usuage with every page. Great for board reviewing and for practicals. Also highly recommend "The Backsmart Fitness Plan" by Dr.Adam Weiss- a very comprehensive book on exercises to help prevent and how to teach patients how to exercises properly.
