Recenzje

From the reviews:

"It presents a very readable atlas of knee MRI with plenty of MRI images, cross-referenced where appropriate to diagrams, endoscopy images and cadaveric specimen photographs. ... As a quick reference guide it works very well. ... References are provided throughout for those who wish to study further. ... is packed with useful information and still offers fair value for money." (John Talbot, RAD Magazine, April, 2014)
