Editorial Reviews

Review

"There are few radiology textbooks that can be considered classics; Imaging of the Head and Neck is one. ...Well organized...The illustrations are a strong feature of this work. This work is an excellent review of head and neck imaging that would be useful to neuroradiology fellows, otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, skull-base surgeons, oncologists, and general radiologists whose practices include a sufficient number of head and neck cases."--Radiology

"The text is clear, reasonably concise, and well written. ...State-of-the-art images...A comprehensive, encyclopedic book with lots of images..a welcome new edition..."--Clinical Imaging

"All of the chapters are well written and informative and have a uniform style. The high-quality color plates of the macrosections depict the anatomy exquisitely. These and the line drawings in the remainder of the chapter help the reader visualize the correlative CT anatomy of the various pathologic conditions. The updated MR images and tables of differential diagnoses are new and appealing. The high quality state-of-the-art high-resolution CT images depicting normal sinonasal anatomy are particularly useful. This delightful book is well organized... The greatest attributes of this book are the layout and descriptive text, variety of cases, and excellent quality of the CT and MR images. The images are well integrated into the text, the legends are well written, and the references are current. In summary, this is a superb clinically relevant reference textbook. It covers all aspects of head and neck imaging that neuroradiologists and clinicians dealing with this subject would find useful. The authors are to be congratulated on this outstanding job of organizing the essentials of head and neck imaging in an easy and readable manner."--American Journal of Neuroradiology

"Illustrations are superbly printed in this typical Thieme-quality publication. This book...is best at demonstrating the normal anatomy, the clincial significance of imaging in disease management - all supported by nice line diagrams, sectional anatomy and histology. This is a massive work and great value. It is essential for departments of radiology and otolaryngology [and] maxillofacial, plastic and reconstructive, orbital and ophthalmic surgeons." --The Journal of Laryngology & Otology

"This textbook provides a comprehensive review of what is known currently in the field of imaging of the head and neck. The anatomical descriptions are superb and the text is accompanied by high quality images and scans. There are superb tables and lists to accompany the already excellent text and accompanying images. An extensive index will also be very useful for the reader who wishes to use this as a reference text. This excellent contribution to the literature on head and neck imaging wil be profitably read by all specialists in the field and will also be a useful reference for those who need to look up information on complicated cases... This deserves to be a success and will undoubtedly become one of the standard textbooks in the field."--RAD Magazine

"It would be impossible not to recommend this text for any radiologist, surgeon or other physician involved in or confronted with head and neck pathology. It should be considered an absolute necessity for every radiology residency program's library and strongly considered for every head and neck surgeon's reference collection. All physicians and surgeons with specialization or interest in the head and neck would find it a benefit to have easy access to this publication."--European Journal of Plastic Surgery

"Well-suited to everyday practice considerations...solid exposure to this complicated subject, without becoming unwieldy...a high-quality text...the illustrations are current and of high quality...concise, well organized discussions...probably the best in the field."--Doody's Book Reviews
