-Reviews-
"A happy compaction of material (maybe twice as much per diagnosis compared with traditional prose textbooks)..." -SciTech Book News, March 2005
"This textbook is an essential addition to the library of any healthcare provider (from students still in training to the seasoned clinician)...
"This imaging textbook contains a well-placed plethora of high-quality radiographic images. While some of the images may be small, they nontheless clearly characterize the depicted disorder. These images are further supplemented by beautifully-detailed illustrations that complement the radiography. Taken together, this combination provides readers with the radiographic hallmarks for accurately diagnosing the spectrum of spinal disorders."--J. of Neurosurgery, Aug. 2005 "Diagnostic Imaging: Brain, Diagnostic Imaging: Spine, and Diagnostic Imaging: Head & Neck...present the reader with a remarkable set of beautifully illustrated and highly educational textbooks.
"[T]he color illustrations alone are worth the price of admission, not only because they convey the essentials of the diagnosis, but also because they spectacularly correlate with the CT and MR images...Buy this set of three books, recommend them to all those in neurosciences, make sure your departmental library has every one of the volumes, and refer to them often."- AJNR Aug. 2005
