Trade Review"Having spent nearly 100 years preventing non-medical staff from reporting radiographs, a significant part of the radiological profession, facing with the spiralling radiological workload, is beginning to think otherwise. This book provides an invaluable companion for those who would come around to this 'new' concept.
This text is a valuable source of information for the following professional groups. Radiographers experienced in skeletal reporting or undertaking 'red dot' reporting and those training for these roles; medical practitioners, in particular casualty residents who work in emergency departments; physiotherapists and other professional groups who have an interest in musculo-skeletal trauma and pathology. Finally, I would recommend that this book be available on the shelves of imaging departments' libraries for it will greatly help the specialist registrars in radiology. Section one would be particularly read with benefit by the latter." Paediatric Radiology, 2006
