Amazon customer review, April 2009
5 * - This book acts as an excellent basis on which to start to look at these images with more authority, whilst providing many tips and secrets from those with years of experience, to pick out the more obscure signs. Written for the trainee radiologist to offer an early insight into the subject, it remains equally valuable for all of us who come across radiographic images as part of our working life.

Michelle A. Wessely BSc(Chiro), DC, DACBR, FCC (UK), DipMEd, Head of Radiology, Head of Clinical Research, Institut Franco-Europeen de Chiropratique (IFEC), April 2009
The book is well organised in to the different chapters, and provides a good overview of the main reporting areas. The image quality is excellent with good legends that are easy to follow and the tables that have been provided are equally each to follow, complementing the text and images, and enhancing the overall quality of an excellent trainee reference book for radiology reporting.

The book fulfils its purpose of providing a good basic framework for the trainee radiologist to work from, as well as extending knowledge in particularly relevant and important areas. The cost of the book is entirely reasonable and should be a must for trainee radiologists to work with, to learn how to approach film reporting, and to be able to build a solid, well-constructed relevant report with.

This is a little pearl of a book that I shall certainly be recommending.

College of Radiographers Journal, September 2009
I found this book well written, easily read and well laid out. It is aimed at junior doctors but could be just as useful for the allied health professional who is embarking on reporting as role development. At its price (£24.95) this is a book that will find its way into the pocket of trainee radiologists and not sit on the shelf in the office. It should also be on the book list for any practitioner in the X ray or A&E dept who is venturing into reporting radiographs in any modality.

Frameworks for Radiology Reporting introduces a system for reporting on any commonly encountered radiological image so that the reader learns the key points they should be looking for, and the main pitfalls they may encounter as they interpret the image and make a diagnosis.

Opening with a chapter on the fundamentals of radiology reporting, the remainder of the book is divided up by body system, each of which covers the commonly encountered radiological examinations, starting with the basics and moving on to more complex ones. There is also a chapter on paediatrics, highlighting the main differences between paediatric and adult radiology, and the major pitfalls to look out for. Throughout, high quality radiological images are annotated to help the reader see what they need to be looking out for.

Written by two highly motivated radiology trainees with a special interest in medical education, this book benefits from the additional expertise of a range of consultant radiologists from a variety of sub-specialties.

Frameworks for Radiology Reporting will not only be of great value to trainee radiologists, but also to any physician or radiographer who has to undertake radiological reporting and be effective at it.
