Books by James D. Begg

Focusing on how to interpret abdominal radiographs, this book is useful for medical students and junior doctors. It outlines the few simple rules you need to follow, then explains how to sort out the initial and apparently overwhelming jumble of information, which constitutes the abdominal X-ray.

Gives a combination of insights into the legal, medical and patients' points of view regarding how X-rays are taken, regulated, interpreted and misinterpreted in the context of accident and emergency departments. This textbook emphasises the importance of knowing about normal anatomy and normal variations, and of the enormous scope for error.
