Rezensionen

lt;p>"This is a good primer on interventional radiology for medical students, designed for easy consumption. It will prove helpful to those considering going into the field, while also providing guidance for those going into different fields as to when to call on an interventional radiologist." (Nikhil Madhuripan, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2016)

"This compact paperback aims to cover all the major aspects of IR and is written by five Canadian radiologists. ... the book can be recommended as a useful introduction to IR and should also find a place in the radiology departments  as an overview of current IR practice." ( Dr. Nicholas Reading, RAD Magazine, June, 2016)
