Reviews

The aim of this book was to compile the most common and identifiable variants of the brain, the skull, and the craniocervical vasculature, and to provide the most facile methods or sequences to identify them expediently. ... The presentation of the book is pleasant, clear, and practical. ... this extensive and richly illustrated atlas will be of great interest for all radiologists and physicians (seniors, residents, and fellows) dealing with neuroimaging. (Bruno Grignon, Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2017)
