From the book reviews:"The objective is to present renal imaging in a simple but clinically relevant way for practitioners. This worthy objective has been achieved nicely in this book. Nephrologists, urologists, radiologists, oncologists, medical students, and fellows in these disciplines are the intended audience. ... It is well written and includes a significant number of illustrations and pictures that add to its value." (Hanna W. Mawad, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2015)
