Editorial Reviews

"...provides radiology residents with a concise but clear information on many questions they will face[d] with at one time or another during their training. For all the comprehensive information it provides, this textbook should prove to be a success among the novice radiologists as well as the more senior residents. It takes them practically by the hand, step by step, from their first GI fluoroscopic examination to the last year of their training, giving them clear, informative guidance from how to perform a simple basic procedure, how to approach the Board Examination and, finally, provides them, at the end of their training, with the proper cognition of their own requirements, such as resident employment and professional contract. In conclusion, this "sourcebook" is highly recommended as a complete, authoritative source of valuable information for junior and senior residents to successfully confront the rigors of their radiological training and prepares them also for their future practice." -Journal of Clinical Imaging
