"I would have found this book invaluable at medical school, but as a now qualified GP I think it is a fabulous resource. The fact it covers so much is remarkable … It is so comprehensive – great images, well explained." Donna Pilkington, GP with an interest in medical education, Northern Ireland, UK"It is direct and succinct. Just what you need in a portable book that aims to give you the essentials [it does] a great job of incorporating a huge amount of information covering the wide range of radiology examinations and procedures into a readable and practical book for students. A good introduction for year 1 radiology residents too." Dr Mike Hurrell, Clinical Senior Lecturer and Consultant Radiologist, University of Otago, Christchurch, New Zealand"The text works very well for the Medical Imaging Students – providing an overview of each modality and key insights into the clinical question to be resolved … the information is presented in an accessible fashion and well-illustrated." Associate Professor Debbie Starkey, Discipline Leader, Medical Radiation Sciences, School of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia
