Editorial Reviews

Review

"Since most pocket books are atlases of normal anatomy, it's nice to see a pocketbook that covers common pathology in a concise manner. Everything from acoustic neuromas to pneumothoraces to rotator cuff tears are covered and are more common in an imaging facility than normal anatomy. This book provides insight into the disease along with useful images depicting the pathology."--Doody's Review Service (Doody's )

This review is from: CT & MRI Pathology : A Pocket Atlas (Paperback)

This is a great book. Each section gives a description and image (CT and/or MR) of most pathologies as well as its etiology,epidemiology, signs and symptoms, which sequences best visualize the pathology, treatment, and even a prognosis.

The book covers everything from head to feet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Review on CT/MR Atlas, September 18, 2007

This review is from: CT & MRI Pathology : A Pocket Atlas (Paperback)

As a 2nd year Radiology resident, this book is a good primer for CT and MRI correlates. It's in no way a substitute for a text or full-series discussion, but to solidify key concepts of common pathology as your reviewing cases initially, it's hard to beat.

Cheap and Introductory...a good buy.
