Review :
In this excellent teaching aid, the authors have compiled a myriad of interesting cases that provide ample opportunity to rapidly familiarise the reader with the classic appearances of a range of emergent imaging pathology and key points concerning these diagnoses. This is the kind of text that one can pick up and review at any time day or night! I thoroughly recommend this fantastic book to all radiologists. Dr. Terence Featherstone, RAD Magazine, December 2009
