Editorial Reviews

Review

"Practicing radiologists will enjoy the richly illustrated text and discussions of the most common applications in abdominal and pelvic MR imaging.  There are few books available that provide a comparable overview at a similar cost." (Radiology, March 2004)

"...an excellent text that includes a broad range of pathological disorders related to the abdomen and pelvis and their imaging characteristics on MRI..." (Abdominal Imaging, September/October 2002)

"...a comprehensive text...valuable addition to the literature...most useful as a reference, but the individual chapters also serve as excellent reviews..." (American Journal of Roentgenology, Vol. 179, No. 4, October 2002)

"...an excellent text that includes a broad range of pathological disorders related to the abdomen and pelvis and their imaging characteristics on MRI..." (Abdominal Imaging)

"...Overall this is an excellent MRI reference work.... I have no doubts this will be a valuable addition to the reporting room reference collection." (NMR in Biomedicine)

This review is from: Abdominal-Pelvic MRI (Hardcover)

Para radiologistas/residentes que trabalham ou querem trabalhar com ressonancia de abdome e pelve, o livro apesar de grande e pesado tem no texto basicamente o essencial, e é o composto na maior parte de muitas fotos de qualidade, o que faz render a leitura e agregar conhecimentos que refletem diretamente na pratica do dia a dia.
