Book SynopsisEssential Imaging in Rheumatology
Trade Review“The book succeeds in what the editor sets out to achieve in merging clinical presentations with imaging patterns of disease in a wide gamut of rheumatologic disorders. … comprehensive and caters to a large target audience of general radiologists, radiology residents, and, in particular, rheumatologists at all levels of training for whom it will be a most excellent resource.” (Darra T. Murphy, Radiology, Vol. 277 (2), November, 2015)
“This book is aimed at radiologists and rheumatologists … . It will sit nicely in the reporting room next to the workstation as a useful source of information. … The text is well linked with colour illustrations and good quality images. … I would recommend this as a useful benchbook for radiologists, principally for musculoskeletal plain film reporting but also as a reference for an overview of more advanced imaging in rheumatology.” (Stephen Davies, RAD Magazine, July, 2015)
“The authors have done an excellent job tying the clinical aspects of rheumatic diseases to the radiographic findings. … This book should be recommended to all PGY-4 and -5 rheumatology trainees as essential reading. It is a concise reference source for radiologists and rheumatologists delivering up-to-date and complete information on the imaging of rheumatic disease.” (Andy Thompson, CRAJ Journal of Canadian Rheumatology Association, Vol. 25 (3), 2015)
