How to make a bootable USB key from any .iso image on Mac OS X?

I do not believe this is truly a duplicate, as it states "any .iso". The flagged "duplicate" is specific to making a bootable USB drive with OSX. In my case I am building a PC with no optical drive, need to get the Windows .ISO onto a flash drive, and I have only Macs available to do it. The answer below appears to be appropriate, but I have not yet tried it... – mbmcavoy Feb 13 at 20:08

This article explains it very well: Making a bootable USB key from an .iso image on Mac OS X

To boot the system from such a drive, press ⌥ immediately after rebooting.
