Review of the previous edition:
"This is an impressive book that will serve as a go-to reference for anatomists, musculoskeletal radiologists, and healthcare professionals who interpret cross-sectional imaging. This edition is an excellent update to the first... I strongly recommend it be added to the medical library and to the personal libraries of musculoskeletal imaging specialists." --Mark R Hutchinson, MD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine) for Doody’s Review Service
