This book is not meant to be a textbook or a handbook of phlebography of the lower limbs. It is an atlas aimed only at teaching one how to read an interpret phlebograms, and is of considerable importance as it represents the standard investigatory method used to check the reliability of other diagnostic methods concerning venous circulation. Regarding diagnosis, nothing is more certain than the phlebographic demonstration of a thrombus; moreover, even if the thrombus is not demonstrable, as in certain phlebites. it is still possible to establish the diagnosis with adequate knowledge of the radio anatomy of the non-opacified veins and the demonstration of marked collateral circulation. Therefore this investigation must be carried out very carefully with particular attention to interpretation. The technique was first used in man in 1923 and is now employed world wide; better tolerated contrast materials render it almost innocuous; the occurrence of very few incidences of non-tolerance does not diminish the value of this method. We have purposely reduced the text to legends of the illustration and withheld the bibliography in so far as it is meant to be a teaching program by way of pictures without any reference to past or present publications.

`The quality of the illustrations is quite good, and it is evident that the author knows his business. The figures are labeled very clear, and labeled structures in each illustration can be identified rapidly, with only a glance at the accompanying legend. ...it will be of value to those with a basic knowledge of venography, who are likely to profit from its excellent illustrations. It deserves to be in any department where venography is a common procedure, and in the library of every residence program, as a supplement to textbooks on venography.'

`It gives me great pleasure to review this atlas by Professor Chermet which is part of a series of radiology atlases intended to cover the main aspects of medical imaging. ... The illustrations are almost universally excellent examples of the conditions they represent, and very well produced, and for this alone the author and publishers are to be congratulated. ... I strongly recommend this atlas, which, as far as I am aware, is the only one available in the English language and which, considering the large number of first-class illustrations, is by today's standards really quite cheap. I hope it will be available in every radiology department where phlebograms are, even if only occasionally requested.'
