From the book reviews:

“Editors V.S. Dogra and G.T. Mac Lennan … aimed to create a textbook that examines radiologic aspects of various urogenital diseases and their corresponding pathological features. … This textbook was based on an original concept which provides the reader with comprehensive information in two important fields, and is highly useful for clinicians. Richly illustrated, with photographs, tables and figures including gross and microscopic features of the diseases, this reference work will be useful for daily practice.” (European Urology Today, July-September, 2014)

“This book certainly fulfills the purpose of presenting the imaging findings of all modalities and the corresponding gross and microscopic pathology all under one cover. It meets the needs of the trainees and practitioners in radiology and urology well. … It is attractive as a reference and review text for all involved in the care of patients with diseases of the kidney, bladder, or urethra, and it belongs on the shelf of the library of every educational institution.” (Bharat Raval, Radiology, Vol. 272 (2), August, 2014)

“This book reviews diseases of the kidneys, ureter, and bladder with an emphasis on the correlation of imaging and pathological findings. … It should benefit practicing radiologists, residents, and fellows with an interest in GU radiology; pathologists and urologists also may find it helpful. … The comprehensive review of disease entities, the clinically oriented coverage, and the excellent image quality make this book an excellent resource for anyone with an interest in GU radiology or pathology.” (Yulia Melenevsky, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2013)
