“The purpose is to present a comprehensive review of current knowledge about imaging of the brain, head and neck, and spine, as well as interventional techniques. This is achieved by having internationally renowned experts in their field contribute chapters. … This is an excellent book on imaging of neurological diseases. In addition, there is an excellent review and update section on breast imaging. This should be high on a reading list for physicians interested in neuroimaging.” (Oliver D.
