 What is up YouTube? I've decided to make a video about the best books for radiology and learning radiology because you guys have constantly asked me what books I use. So, without further ado, let's get to it. Alright, so first and foremost this is a solid book. I don't know if you guys can see that. It's called learning radiology. I actually met this guy William Herring on an interview one time. Anyways, this is solid book. I read this in med school. It really gives you the basics about pretty much every imaging modality and it's a solid resource for med students who just want to learn a little more about radiology. It just gives you a good insight into the whole field and a lot of imaging modalities. So, this is a solid resource right here. The other basic, I say basic loosely, but this is just a solid book as well. I'm gonna say that a lot solid. Felsen's Principles of Chest Rankinology or Chest Radiology. This is like an old version, but this book is also excellent. It's just purely about chest x-rays. It really gives you the basics. Another good book for med students. It's also a good book for first-year residents who are starting out trying to learn chest radiography. Easy to understand, easy to learn. Good resource. Felsen's. And while we're on the topic of chest, this is the more advanced book. This was recommended to me by my attending, Thoracic Imaging. Who is it by? By Richard Webb and Higgins. This book, this is fantastic. I think Thoracic Imaging can be pretty difficult. There's a lot of challenging concepts at first and if you're really trying to dive in deep, this is an excellent book. I highly recommend it. It's very well written. It's very easy to read. If you read all the chapters in this book, you're gonna know what to do. You can almost teach yourself chest radiology or thoracic imaging by this book. So if you're intermediate, high-level radiology resident or chest fellow or tardy-thoracic fellow, this is the book. This is a go-to. All right. So the next book that I recommend is this, Basics or Fundamentals of Body CT by, I think it's also by, no, a different web. Richard Webb. This book is perfect for someone who's just starting out on their body CT rotation in residency and they need to learn how to read a body CT. It's also good for people who just want to learn how to read a body CT or want to get a little better at it. So this is perfect book for that. I read it before my rotation and felt like it covered every basic topic you would ever want or ever need. For pediatric imaging, this book is phenomenal. It's by Donnelly, Lane Donnelly. They tell us to read this our first year, our first rotation on pediatrics and it pretty much goes through everything you would ever want to know about pediatrics. It's probably good for pediatricians too or pediatric residents, but it's really, really, really, really good for your first pediatric rotation and your second pediatric rotation for that matter. All right. So the next book I recommend is this Mayo Clinic Gastrointestinal Imaging Review. It's basically for anybody who has to do fluoro procedures or fluoro guided procedures, baron swallow, you know, small bowel follow-through, upper GI study, et cetera. This is probably like the Bible of fluoro. Everybody uses it, even though fluoro is kind of antiquated these days after the advent of CT and MR, but we still do a lot of baron swallows and upper GI studies and this book is where it's at. It's also tested on board, so you kind of have to know it. All right. Swishing gears to neuro. So this book, I read this before I started call and before I did my neuro rotation. It's a great refresher. You can read it in like 30 minutes or an hour. It probably saved me because I never forget my first ever time on call, first day on call. I had this super bad head CT. It was my very first day, but I read this book the night before my call shift because I was kind of nervous and I felt so confident reading it. So interpretation of emergency head CT. This is by Holmes. I'll link all these books in the description below, by the way, in case you want to look at them or buy them on Amazon. This is a good book. Quick read, solid book. In terms of other neuro books, there's the requisites. So the requisites, they make a lot of pretty good books for radiology. This one for neuro radiology is pretty verbose, but if you're going to go into the field of neuro radiology, I recommend this. I started reading it, but it was a little too much. So I just kind of switched to something a little more low key, if you will. So let's get to my favorite book of all time. This is what I read almost daily. This is core radiology. This book right here, it has all information of every different subspecialty of radiology. I could not recommend this book enough. If you get one book, it'll be this. You have to read it. Don't forget it core radiology. It's a big red book. It's really thick. All right. So the other book that's a must have for all radiology residents, especially for boards, this is essentially the first aid for radiology. It's called crack the core. The core exam is our board exam we take during our fourth year residency. This is essentially just like bulleted points throughout entire radiology subspecialties. It's two volumes of really thick books, but it's straight to the point. All you need to know memberization tools. And he's kind of funny. A lot of people have commented when I show images of this book on certain things as they really like the format of it. So this book is also highly recommended. It's it's not even I don't even highly I don't even highly recommend it. It's you have to have it if you're a radiology resident. Period. All right. Now let's switch gears over to interventional radiology. I actually read no wait this is even it. So remember I was speaking about that requisites company. They make all these good books for every different radiology specialty. This one the requisites vascular and interventional radiology. This is really good book as well. It's a little on the verbose side of things. So that's not really my style. But I do recommend it. There are a few other ones like the hand book of IR, which I don't know if I have on here. I'm sorry that the IR survival guide. This one's by David Kessel. And then there's also an IR handbook which I use last but not least. I can't forget my nuclear medicine peeps. So for the nuclear med folks out there and for anybody who's taking radiology boards nuclear medicine imaging by Metler. Don't forget that this guy he did it right. And this is I mean you have to read this on your nuclear medicine rotation. And there's some high yield stuff in here for boards. I think that's about it. I went through a whole bunch of books. I'll put a link in the description below and you can look at all the different books if you want. If this is helpful let me know. If it's not let me know. And I'll see you in the next video I guess. See ya.
