Review of the previous edition:"This book is a valuable resource for residents that presents an easy-to-digest, consolidated overview of common pathology they will encounter on their first rotation. This book is uniquely approachable to a new radiology resident and a valuable resource, warranting appropriate updating and online availability." --Rachel Zimmerman Bass, MD (University of Alabama at Birmingham) Doody's Review Service
