Customer Reviews

Body MRI ---Recomended
It is an excellent book for residents. It has the information needed for for all the subjects including Breast MRI. The author makes an effort to explain WHY thinks looks the way they do rather than listing imaging characteristics. This book is very well written and the information in it is very recent (2005 edition). I highly recomended.

Great introduction to body MRI
Siegelman's Body MRI book is one of the best MRI introduction out there. Great for the radiology resident who need a general MRI book that will cover a lot of ground on a lot of topic while staying thin and affordable. From there you will be able to build further with more advanced texts and published articles. Also, there are a lot of images and they are of good quality. You won't be asking yourselves "Am I seeing what is described in the caption?". Important facts are well organized in tables for a quick review of a chapter. I beleive this book is a must have; have fun.

Body MRI
Body MRI is definitely a good start for radiology residents. Each chapter starts with relevant MRI physics. The most important information are summarised in boxes for almost all entities which is a bonus for rapid reviewing. Many images with nice descriptions.
Still not complete. I do not recommend it for fellows.
