Editorial Reviews

Review

“This new book by Marie Tartar, Christopher E. Comstock and Michael S. Kipper is not easily comparable to other textbooks. And it is outstanding…It delivers a multidisciplinary approach, most importantly, from a clinical point of view. In my opinion, this new concept is the logical answer to a widespread specialization of radiologists. Besides the familiarity with the imaging modalities used in our own subspecialty, we have to have knowledge about the relevant strengths and weaknesses of the techniques used in other fields of radiology.” – Schueller G.
