CT and MRI Pathology: A Pocket Atlas

Review
"Since most pocket books are atlases of normal anatomy, it's nice to see a pocketbook that covers common pathology in a concise manner. Everything from acoustic neuromas to pneumothoraces to rotator cuff tears are covered and are more common in an imaging facility than normal anatomy. This book provides insight into the disease along with useful images depicting the pathology."
