Clinical Cardiac CT: Anatomy and Function Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good book for Cardiac CT for beginners and also as a reference textbook
for any department doing cardiac CT. Easily readable and good CT images throughout. Initial chapter on how to do cardiac CT gives a good review of indications/techniques/drugs and protocols to be used. Chapter on CT coronary anatomy and anomalies is good. Rest of the chapters on coronary arterial disease, stents etc. are thorough and readable. CD provided gives decent images but the CD can't be used as an interactive cardiac CT tutor for case studies.
Makes one understand the basics and the pathology concerned and makes one more confident to start off with Cardiac CT. Definitely worth the price.

Atlas of Interventional Neurology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a trainee in interventional neurology, I'd have to say this book is "middle of the road." It does have good cases and illustrations. It consists of cases that are shown in a step-by-step manner. There are two reasons I do not give this a higher rating: 1. It is NOT an atlas as one might expect - it does not spend a lot of time on diagrammed anatomy. There are also not a lot of diagrammed angiographic images. 2. Only about half the cases have references.
As far as strengths, the best thing about the book is that all authors describe in detail which device they use and at what point in the procedure.
In summary, this is a nice addition to the library of anyone training in interventional neurology/neuroradiology. It is not really a reference book, and should only supplement other sources.

Spine Disorders: Medical and Surgical Management Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a resident in training I found this book to be an incredible resource. I particularly appreciated the information contained in the the Appendix under the section titled "Please don't make my mistakes." Experience is the best teacher and nowhere is this more evident than in the practice of medicine. A wonderful text and a smooth read.
