Praise for earlier editions:

This is an excellent text that includes a broad range of pathologic disorders related to the abdomen and pelvis and their imaging characteristics on MRI." -- Abdominal Imaging

The coverage is truly comprehensive and there are numerous illustrations providing not just classic appearances of lesions but variants as well." -- NMR in Medicine

This is, and will continue to be, my primary text for body MRI in the reading room and the inclusion of more and better quality images than the previous edition is wonderful." (Doody's Health Services)
