Image qualitynot up to par by C. L. Lutrin (Phoenix, AZ)

The text is pertinent with good teaching points. Many images, both in the book and companion web site, look as though they were either acquired on old, low resolution cameras or were poorly reproduced. Reproductions of Xrays are also poor in many cases.

Numerous Errors, Outdated Information by A. THORESON (in a dark room)

1 Stars
February 21, 2009
Very disappointed with the book. Not recommended for board review. The number of errors, both gramatical and factual, make the book difficult to read and trust. For instance, numerous images are labeled incorrectly with the wrong side of the patient, especially on the renal scintigraphy examples. The authors expound on outdated and uncommon practices such as using I-131 MIBG for neuroblastoma detection, when clearly the standard is I-123.
