5.0 out of 5 stars High end orthopedic imaging text, November 24, 2006

By 

XRADR (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine (2 Volume Set) (Hardcover)

The illustrations are beautiful. There has been tremendous attention to detail. This is a definitive tome on high end orthopedic imaging. It contains information and concepts that are pretty cutting edge (that seem to just be getting into the literature). If you're looking for THE text on orthopedic imaging, this is the one. It BLOWS away the DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING Series - Orthopedics (by Dr. Stoller also).

This is a very large series of 2 books. Like that it's broken up into upper and lower extremity. Initially, cost freaked me out a bit. But, for what you get ... particularly the really high quality images and illustrations (and lots of them), it's well worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential for MSK radiologist but a little dry, September 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine (Hardcover)

This remains an essential textbook for musculoskeletal radiologists although one criticism would be that is a little dry . It steers clear of the opinion which makes books by Resnick or Helms so entertaining and useful. Stoller and some of the authors he has used for the chapters are enormously experienced and it would be good to read a more personal perspective .
