“Head and neck cancer imaging is an immense subject and to cover this logically and comprehensively in a single volume is a significant achievement. This is an excellent benchbook … . This edition is thorough and up to date and I personally expect to use it regularly. I highly recommend it to trainees and experienced head and neck radiologists, who should keep it close to their report­ing workstation.” (Nicholas Spencer, RAD Magazine, February, 2023)
