comparison to similar book by ls head (chicago)  1 Stars

two previous reviewers have the opinion that this book is inferior to the book by kandarpa. After carefully reviewing both books, I believe that this is an understatement. Also, I wonder if the long laudatory review could have been confabulated by the author himself. If so this reflects poorly on amazon.com.Finally, is the author a radiologist or a practicing radiologist?

it is, as the first reviewer points out, quite inferior to kandarpa's gem. the prior review sounds like it was written by the author.

All Residents should own it  5 Stars
June 27, 2003
The book is very helpful from basics to advanced topics. This book can serve as the only book needed for IR training in residency and oral boards preparation for radiology residents. Has individual chapters on puncture of IJ, Subclavian v, femoral v, femoral a, brachial a etc. Has individual chapters on all interventional procedures commonly performed in private practice hospitals and most of the IR procedures performed in University hospitals. All authors are fellowship trained at prestigious institutions and are currently practicing IR and Neuroradiology at academic centers. Yes, Kandarpa's book is excellent and covers a some info not in the pocket radiologist book. However, Kandarpa's book does not have any radiographs or color illustrations and tends to have long chapters from which it is more time consuming to get the scoop on focused issues such as how to perform a cerebral arteriogram, how to puncture the RIJ and LIJ, how to quickly drain an abcess or place a nephrostomy, how to perform an epidural steroid injection etc. Also the coverage of venous access and neuroradiology topics is much more thorough in the pocket radiologist book than in Kandarpa's. The pocket radiologist book provides step by step advice to guide physicians for performing procedures quickly and safely.

i read the other reviews and i'm wondering what book did they read? you get a felling that the author really doesn't perform interventional procedures. i would have to recommend a better book - kandarpa's handbook is much better!
