Praise for this series:

"Allow[s] a quick visual review of common diagnoses in a volume that easily fits into one's lab coat." --American Journal of Neuroradiology

"This Atlas should be in the library of the Departments of Rediology to be consulted not only by the radiologist resident but definitely also by the junior orthopedists, and obviously by more senior members of the radiological staff." --Clinical Imaging May 2011, Antonio F. Govoni, MD
