"This book could be purchased either by an individual radiologist for their personal library or by a radiology department for general reference, particularly if it was kept in the acute reporting room." (Mark Wills, RAD Magazine, July, 2019)
"The book reviews MR and Dual energy CT of disorders causing an acute abdomen. ... The authors center their discussion on new advances in the imaging of the acute abdomen using MR and dual source CT technology. The book is organized using an organ system approach. ... this is a well-written book that highlights cross-sectional imaging of the acute abdomen. It is a worthwhile read for imaging knowledge." (Tara M. Catanzano, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2018)
