Reviews

Each chapter is comprehensive with case presentation based on pertinent clinical information, representative images with illustrations, key imaging findings, concise discussion/ follow-up data, and with a case summary as conclusion. ... It can be a good start mainly for beginners ... . (Eugenio Di Giorgio and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 48, 2021)
