From the reviews:“This monograph concerns the postoperative findings using CT, MRI, PET, and plain radiographic means to evaluate head, neck, skull, and brain surgeries. I highly recommend this book with its great depth and scope for neurosurgeons seeking their validation postoperatively for minor to major techniques. This is meant to help clinical neurosurgeons with routine patient followup and evaluation.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, February, 2014)“It fills a gap in the literature and can serve as a handy reference for practicing radiologists. The target audience consists of residents rotating in neuroradiology, neuroradiology fellows, and practicing neuroradiologists. … This is a body of work that covers a broad range of common and uncommon surgical procedures, surgical hardware, and postsurgical complications. It is a useful reference for radiologists at varying levels of training or years of practice. There is no doubt that it will find its place near workstations throughout the world.” (Scott E. Forseen, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2013)
