"…clearly written and the quality of the printed images, which is always a problem with the predominantly darker shades of grey required for MRI compared to CT, are more than satisfactory. I strongly recommend this book to all general radiologists as a means of keeping up to date and as a source of reference. It would also be ideal for trainees looking for an efficient way of getting to grips with the many different aspects of MRI… Personally, I find reading this book a much more comfortable and enjoyable way of expanding my knowledge of radiology than browsing online, but for those who do not agree, a digital version is included in the price of the package." Reviewed by Dr Nick Reading, consultant radiologist, Whipps Cross University Hospital (London), RAD Magazine, January 2026."...provide[s] fundamentals to the vast majority of users in the over 50 pages of the first chapter, written in a broad and in-depth way, but in a simple manner. Helping the readers with diagrams and figures, the authors allowed them to simplify learning and acquire the tools for understanding practical applications. In this direction, the choice was to produce an easy-to-use text on the most common clinical situations, concerning the analysis of abdomen and pelvis, renouncing to delve into rare or excessively complex conditions.... An eBook version is included, allowing to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize the content, make notes and highlights, have content read aloud." - Luigi Mansi, Inter-University Research Center for Sustainability (CIRPS), European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, April 2025
