“Critical Findings in Neuroradiology consists of 59 case-based review articles on important conditions and disease processes encountered in brain, head and neck, and spinal imaging. … The book is targeted at radiologists in training, aimed at explaining what to look for and how to communicate findings to clinicians in an emergency setting. … a useful collection of review articles on an extensive range of acute conditions and would be a useful reference for those trainees revising for their final examinations.” (Dr. Mark Igra, RAD Magazine, December, 2016)
