Reviews

“A riveting excursion through the most cutting-edge and recent imaging techniques that identify pertinent underlying structures of human anatomy; essential for the planning and execution of successful surgery.” Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, Doctor of Medicine (Bridgeport Hospital)

“To the best of my knowledge, and after conducting a broad online search, I was unable to locate any other textbooks that so comprehensively tackle the subject of medical imaging as it relates to plastic surgery in general, and most definitely none that include it in such breadth and in such detail as this one does. I found it to be very enlightening, and I believe that it adequately fills an apparent gap in the plastic surgery library so that it can be used by consultants as well as trainees. The PMFA Journal, volume 3, issue 3, Patrick Addison, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
