Customer Reviews

Falling apart
I have only had this book for 6 days and it has already started coming apart. When I mentioned it in class about 10 other students laughed and held their books up to show the pages falling out. I hope this problem is fixed soon, because I saw another review that mentioned the same problem. Have also noted many typos in the answer key for the workbook and am only on chapter 2.

Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology
This book is a valuable educational tool. It has the information to assist the technologist in recognizing what they see, or in planning the exam to find suspected pathology.

Book falling apart
I have had this book for a week and it is falling apart. It is cheaply put together.

The information in the book is alright, not the best presentation of information.
