"This book covers in 400 pages all thinkable aspects of the peritoneum and peritoneal cavity. … The text is exceedingly well written and the book as a whole is well organized and easy to read. There is a large number of images of excellent quality. The approach of this book is helpful to both residents and more experienced radiologists … . This book is both basic and clinical in scope and is highly recommended as an important reference in everyday radiological practice." (Hans Stridbeck, Acta Radiologica, Vol. 43 (3), 2002)
"In the foreword to this book, A. E. Cardinale describes the book as ‘splendid’. Indeed it is splendid, the illustrations and range of clinical material reflect a vast clinical experience of commonplace and rare pathology. There are beautifully produced CT sections which have been extensively researched. The text reflects the quality of the illustrations and the knowledge of the contributors. … CT departments would do themselves a significant favour in acquiring this book as a reference text." (Dr. E. M. Robertson, RAD Magazine, February, 2002)
"Though the book focuses on computed tomography (CT) of the peritoneal cavity, it also covers many aspects of abdominal imaging. … A subject index at the end of the book is extensively detailed and cross-referenced. The text … is beautifully written and carefully edited. Most of the figures are transverse CT images, but numerousCT reconstructions, standard angiograms, and diagrams are also included. All are superbly reproduced and clearly labeled. … I recommend CT of the Peritoneum to anyone interested in abdominal radiology … ." (Philip Goodman, Radiology, August, 2003)
