4.0 out of 5 stars A Text Book That Cannot Stand on its Own, September 17, 2008

Very simple and to the point. If in the diagnostic radiology field (student or not), worth adding to library. But why the four star, you may ask? It is expensive and has no fundamental/introductory information on ionizing radiation and as a result makes the book "a text book that cannot stand on its own"
