Dr. William Herring authored Learning Radiology: Recognizing the Basics, 5th Edition, an introductory radiology textbook prepared for medical students, residents, fellows, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. The text applies pattern recognition methods to assist learners in distinguishing between normal and abnormal radiologic images across foundational imaging modalities.

The narrative structure organizes core diagnostic topics into clear thematic arcs. Coverage opens with normal pulmonary and cardiac anatomy before introducing complex thoracic conditions including airspace versus interstitial lung disease, opacified hemithorax, atelectasis, pleural effusions, and pneumonia. The text further addresses ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, bone and spine abnormalities, trauma imaging, intracranial pathology, and pediatric diseases.

Decision trees direct learners through diagnostic challenges encountered in clinical practice. The volume incorporates over 850 illustrations, detailed tables, teaching boxes, and self-assessment case study questions, functioning as a complete study resource for health professions programs.
