Editorial Reviews

2016 BMA Awards: Highly Commended, Basic & Clinical Sciences

"The newest (2015) and the 41^st edition of Gray’s Anatomy is a mirror on the explosion of medical knowledge that has occurred over the past 8 years since the 40^th edition was published… the 41^st edition of Gray’s Anatomy is the single most important text a radiologist should own. Buy it not only for its practical and intellectual/educational value but to have in your possession-a slice of medical history."

-American Journal of Neuroradiology (March 2016)
