"Changes have been incorporated into the 20 contributed chapters (numerous 3T images are included). The text as a whole continues to emphasize "short duration imaging studies that combine comprehensive information and consistent image quality" and "multiple examples of disease processes both rare and common, so that the reader has guidance on the appearances of virtually all diseases processes in the abdomen, pelvis, chest and breast, to compare their own cases against" - (from the preface). Presentation is in two volumes." (SciTech Book News, December 2010)
