This is an outstanding, comprehensive, authoritative monograph on how to obtain the best images to detail clinical situations, appropriate legal and regulatory permissions, image storage guidelines, and how to present the images for teaching, planning surgery, and more. This is a tremendously important text for every teaching institution and clinician who provides high-risk medical care and must document medical situations and results.
