I am a PGY-4 Rad resident. Here are some resources that I think you guys might find helpful.
General
Chest X-ray
If you're serious about it, start with Felson's Principles of Chest Roentgenology, A Programmed Text. Don't let the 288 pages scare you, half of the pages are images and the other half only contain like 100 words of text. It's set up with big pictures on one side, and easy explanations and multiple choice questions on the opposing page. It kind of reminded me of that Dale Dubin EKG book (the orange one).
If you're kind of "meh" about it. Just check out the UVA tutorials above, or this..
All that being said, Chest X-rays can be some of the most challenging and humbling cases to read. You could read 5 books and still suck. I'm probably going to recommend a CT anyways.
Interventional Radiology Gunners
This guy makes some decent youtube videos. Maybe you'll impress someone someday and only have to sell 1 limb to get into IR.
Advanced
Finding good articles
Just google "(What your looking for) + Radiographics. The Radiographics educational journal has some of the best educational articles and modules overall. You might become too smart and lose all your friends.
Hope that helps. If I think of anything else, I'll periodically update this comment
Felson’s principles of roentgenology is a great book to get comfortable at reading CXR and chest imaging.

I use RIP ATMLL (are there many lung lesions)
RIP for quality of the image (rotation, inspiration, penetration)
ATMLL for search pattern (abdomen, thoracic cage, mediastinum, individual lung fields, both lung fields together).
My two cents:
Realistically at the medical student level the most important study to be able to interpret is going to be a chest x-ray. So, if you’re looking for resources to go past the general anatomy and “approach to a chest x-ray” I would recommend Felson’s Principles of Chest Roentgenology.
It’s a ‘programmed text’ like Dubin’s for EKGs, and goes through pathology topic by topic, with lots of opportunity to practice interpretation and to see if you are right or wrong. It’s a relatively quick read and there are lots of practice cases at the end as well.
I stressed interpretation before because, sure you may have a test question about the difference between an epidural vs. subdural bleed, but it’s not like you are going to be interpreting CTs or MRIs.
Knowing the underlying anatomy and the differential for the pathology would probably be a better use of your time than going through any of the introductory texts like Learning Radiology: Recognizing the Basics or Squire’s Fundamentals of Radiology. (My point here being that you need to know what you are looking at if you are actually going to be able to make sense of a study.) If you were considering radiology, one might be nice to have as a reference, but again, I do not think actually trying to read through the whole thing would be a good use of time.
Without cases to practice with, a lot of that knowledge probably will not stick. Whenever you have the chance, trying to look at a film before reading the radiologist’s report to test yourself can be helpful, as is trying to actively correlate what you see on the film compared to the clinical exam.
After having a good knowledge of chest x-rays, your next most common scenarios that require interpretation would probably be emerg related - again chest x-rays will be super common, but others like abdo series, extremity skeletal trauma, cervical spine, etc. will be useful.
Having said that, there are online resources like “Introduction to Radiology” from the University of Virginia or Radiology Masterclass.

TL;DR:
Felson's Principles of Chest Roentgenology
Simple, clear, concise. Will teach you to understand how pathology presents on x-rays.
Probably the best is Felsons https://www.amazon.com/Felsons-Principles-Roentgenology-Programmed-Goodman/dp/1455774839/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=JDCA2381R8J6EBY4BATW

and this if you like the style of Dubin's EKG book for chest x-rays:

I like these programmed texts too and know of two:
Sidman's Neuroanatomy: A Programmed Learning Tool
https://www.amazon.com/Sidmans-Neuroanatomy-Programmed-Learning-Lippincott/dp/0781765684
Felson's Principles of Chest Roentgenology, A Programmed Text, 4e
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1455774839
Felson's Principles of Chest Roentgenology. Reasonably priced on Amazon, but I think a quick Google search yields a PDF.
