Customer Reviews from Amazon :

The online access is pretty nice and includes helpful adjunct information
I picked this up because I didn't have time in my 4th year schedule to pick up a radiology rotation. The book focuses on CXR interpretation and has some chest CT thrown in there as well. The online access is pretty nice and includes helpful adjunct information, including a glossary on thoracic imaging terms, a adjunct for interstitial lung disease (with helpful images and differentials), etc.
The text as you may have read is relatively interactive in a question-answer format and helps to reinforce key concepts. There are also quizzes at the end of each chapter and good "challenge" cases included with this book. Keep in mind the book is to learn the principles - as Dr. Felson says in the beginning of the book, "Principles are as important as facts. If you master the principles, you can make up the facts.". In other words, it will lay the groundwork for you to do more advanced learning on your own.
I would recommend the book if you can't make time in your schedule for a radiology rotation and you need something interactive (with quizzes) to take its place as a sort of interactive course. If not, there are good free sources online as well.

Highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve upon their CXR reading ...
Highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve upon their CXR reading skills, esp anyone going into pulm. Very easy to read.
