X-Ray Interpretation Simplified, part of the Al HaYaT Simplified Series, gives you a systematic way to read the X-rays you will see most often, especially the chest X-ray. You learn to check the image first, then follow a fixed order so that you do not miss important findings.
It suits radiology questions, OSCE image stations and everyday ward work.
