From the reviews:
Departments doing RFA would do well to have this in their library.
This book, which is an introductory text to the topic, is a timely addition to the literature. It is a multi-author text with all 30 contributors being MDs.
Overall, this is a useful book, written for the clinical user...and it will serve as a useful starting point for those clinicians new to the field.
