What are some of the books people use for their residency? Any specific books reccomended before starting as an R1, any review books especially good for the boards, etc?

Do you guys have any tips for a MRI tech book for ridiculously non-mathematical md's? I'm doing some research work and i would love some more (f)MRI knowledge
Only 62 books? Ok done. Got any more?
Hello everybody,
I'm not sure if there is some info about this somewhere already but please redirect me if something has been posted already.
What are some good books to read for a radiology elective. I just finished my third year and am about to go for a couple of rotations in radiology in 2 weeks so I wanted to get some headstart reading. Any recommendations?
Thanks
Squires fundamentals of Radiology
Learning Radiology - the website and the book
Radiology Recall isn't bad but way more info
First 2 books are the best. Squires gives a very broad overview & Learning radiology gives some very good pointers for commonly encountered stuff.
Most other books are going to be beyond the scope of medical students. Med school just doesn't teach you much info that is important for radiology (my opinion as a Med student that did 3 rads electives)
On rads rotations they typically don't expect you to know to much. Just try to look interested and not ask too many questions and you'll be fine.
from http://radresidents.blogspot.com. See original page for links.
Obviously new residents should be reading Brant and Helms' Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology but it is usually provided when you start your program. See the following list of recommendations for individual rotations. Feel free to comment if you have found better options.
Chest: Prior to beginning your first chest rotation you should read Felson's Principles of Chest Roentgenology. During your first and second rotations you should read one of the following texts:
1. Thoracic Imaging by Webb and Higgins or
2. Imaging of the Chest by Muller and Silva or
3. Imaging of Diseases of the Chest by Hansel et. al
Both of these texts are recommended for subsequent rotations:
1. CT and MR of the Thorax
2. High-Resolution CT of the Lung
Body CT & MR:
1. Fundamentals of Body Ct (3rd Edition)
2. Body MRI by Evan Siegelman
3. Emergency Radiology: Case Review Series
4. Gastrointestinal Imaging: Case Review Series
GI/GU Fluoro: The first is highly recommended for fluoro as most residents do not do that much fluoro anymore, but we are expected to know it regardless:
1. Mayo Clinic Gastrointestinal Imaging Review
2. Gastrointestinal Radiology: A Pattern Approach
3. Gastrointestinal Imaging: Case Review Series
4. Genitourinary Radiology: Radiology Requisites Series
5. Genitourinary Imaging: Case Review Series
Interventional:
1. Vascular and Interventional Radiology: The Requisites
2. Handbook of Interventional Radiologic Procedures
Mammography:
1. Breast Imaging (The Core Curriculum Series)
2. Breast Imaging: Case Review Series
3. Helpful website: UW breast imaging teaching file
Musculoskeletal:
1. General MSK, great for your first rotation - Orthopedic Imaging: A Practical Approach
2. Arthritis text - Arthritis in Black and White
3. MSK MRI text - Musculoskeletal MRI
4. Review texts - Musculoskeletal Imaging: A Teaching File and Imaging of the Musculoskeletal System
Neuroradiology:
1. Neuroradiology: The Requisites
2. Brain Imaging: Case Review Series
3. Head and Neck Imaging: Case Review Series
4. Spine Imaging: Case Review Series
Nuclear Medicine:
1. Nuclear Medicine: The Requisites
2. Nuclear Medicine: Case Review Series
Pediatrics:
1. Pediatric Imaging: The Fundamentals
2. Pediatric Imaging: Case Review Series
3. Pediatric Radiology: The Requisites
Ultrasound:
1. Ultrasound: The Requisites
2. General and Vascular Ultrasound: Case Review Series
3. Diagnostic Ultrasound by Rumack
I am sorry to come of as ignorat, but what is the specific book nameFelsons. Honestly, don't waste your time reading anything else. I didn't listen when people advised the same thing a year ago; two textbooks later, I realized I only wasted time and absorbed nothing.
With PGY2 drawing near for some of us.. any recs on any good atlases, or easy reads that will be meaningful like Felsons before starting radiology residency?
hello!
I have a quick question: I already own th B+H and I will be starting my first CT rotation soon. Does it make sense to also get the Fundamentals of Body CT book by Webb or is the content really the same? The previews on amazon look quite different...thanks a lot!
Hmm... I'm not sure the site's policy on shameless plugs, but as a rising R1 I'm actually pretty tempted to pick this up for something interesting+useful read as I waste away in the ICU as an intern this winter.

This list makes no sense. Waaaaaay too many general books and atlases. Many of those books are medical student appropriate, but far too superficial for a resident.Such a policy encourages "shameful plugs" where the disclosure of conflict of interest is not made.
