“The purpose is to provide a general overview of the diagnostic imaging process while addressing common pathologies and diagnoses seen in patients. The audience is students who are entering the imaging profession. … Overall, this is a useful book that provides a wide spectrum of information across the imaging sciences.” (Kyle Theine, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2015)
