Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:"The monumental and revolutionary steps in the development of technical procedures in coronary radiology that have taken place in the past few years are properly and clearly depicted in the second edition of this book. … Many beautiful black and white and colour images are to be found and surely will be of interest to the reader. … this is a very impressive book to be recommended to Radiologists, Cardiologists, Clinicians and Hospital Administrators." (Giampiero Beluffi, La Radiologia Medica, Vol. 114, 2009)“This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of the modalities available for imaging the coronary arteries. … There is excellent correlation with real life clinical practice which I have found invaluable. The information is presented in a detailed, precise manner, making this an excellent reference book. The text is complemented by clear diagrams and illustrations, and the image reproduction is superb. The trainees with whom I work have found this book to be an invaluable resource … . I recommend this book without reservation.” (Nigel Beharry, RAD Magazine, April, 2011)
