Gastrointestinal Imaging: The Requisites (Requisites in Radiology)
By Robert D. Halpert
Publisher: Mosby
Number Of Pages: 384

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780323032216
Binding: Hardcover
This concise, practical resource covers all of today's need-to-know information in gastrointestinal imaging...in an exceptionally user-friendly format. Because it's so compact, clinically oriented, and easy to read, this new volume in the Requisites series is an ideal study tool as well as a convenient reference for practice.
Presents core knowledge and expertise in gastrointestinal imaging.
Delivers more than 750 outstanding illustrations that demonstrate a full range of gastrointestinal imaging approaches and findings.
Offers numerous outlines, tables, "pearls," and boxed material for easy reading and reference.
Organized in a user-friendly way: by organ system and then by radiologic finding within the chapter.
Includes new coverage of multi-slice CT to keep you on the cutting edge in radiology.
Updates and replaces images and modalities from previous editions to reflect current trends in radiology.
Summary: Gastrointestinal Imaging: The Requisites 3rd edition
Rating: 2
I am a practicing radiologist and instructor. This text is poorly written and poorly organized.
Summary: Avoid this book
Rating: 1
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.
Summary: not as good as others from the series
Rating: 2
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 topics. There's not a word about specific collateral vessels in portal hypertension.
I have had a great experience with the Mayo Clinic Gastrointestinal Imaging Review book which I would recommend instead.
Summary: waste of time & money
Rating: 1
despite abundant images
i found this book inaccurate, badly written and confusing
i do not recommend it at all
Summary: good as intro but not in-depth enough
Rating: 3
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.
