Reviews

“What I liked most were the clear descriptions and key principles illustrated by real case studies with a range of answers and treatments. The self-assessment quiz at the end of each chapter is another good feature, allowing the reader to consolidate their learning. … As a clinical teacher myself, I highly recommend this book to supplement clinical learning.” (Catherine Parrin, RAD Magazine, April, 2023)
