Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The book is aimed primarily at radiologists, but physicians in other specialties, such as infectious disease and internal medicine, will also find it useful. It covers, in a comprehensive systematic approach, multiple diseases and all organ systems involved. ... The book is well organized and clearly written. The tables are well laid out and easy to grasp ... many important facts. ... Imaging of Parasitic Diseases is an excellent review and reference book. I believe that every radiologic and medical library should own this volume." (Branko M. Plavsic, Radiology, Vol. 253 (2), November, 2009)
