“The book is very well organized, and the coverage of common disease entities is clear and succinct. It is richly illustrated and uses all of the current imaging modalities. … it will be of great benefit to the advanced medical student and resident trainee in a specialty other than radiology who is particularly interested in abdominal diseases. It also belongs in the teaching library of every medical school and institution of postgraduate training.” (Bharat Raval, Radiology, Vol. 267 (3), June, 2013)
