Reviews / Votes
"This small book is well organised and clear; a suprising amount of information is included. It is very easy to read, and it make excellent use of illustrations and diagrams. The quality of the printing and illustrations is high. For its nominal cost, this book should be of great value to all physicians who treat patients with cancer. It provides a much-needed guide to all that modern radiology has to offer these patients; at the same time, it promotes a logical, cost-conscious approach." - David Michael Cohen, MD Reviewed in Radiology (1999)More details
