"The layout is good and provides a useful overview of a comprehensive range of bone tumours with representative images and helpful relevant differential diagnoses for each lesion. ... the book would also prove useful to solidify concepts and serve as a useful reference for more experienced readers." (Bhavin Upadhyay and Asif Saifuddin, RAD Magazine, February, 2018)

"This book on imaging of bone tumors, both malignant and benign, is divided into three distinct sections that provide an overview of pathophysiology, discuss specific bone tumors, and troubleshoot for characterizing bone lesions. ... This is a must-have book for all radiology residency programs! It is also a useful resource in the reading room of any general radiologist." (Tara M. Catanzano, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
