Biology and Pathology of the Vessel Wall

IT is a great pleasure to be able unreservedly to recommend any book-and this is one of those occasions. To the physician or rheumatologist this small volume outlines precisely what can be expected from the various modes of imaging on patients suffering from bone or joint disease. To the radiologist it presents clearly the requirements of the clinician. The chapters are well chosen. The illustrations are of excellent quality. A good balance is struck between conventional and more modern techniques, and it is of interest that the authors included computed tomography, ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance. I strongly recommend this book to any clinician who is in the habit of writing X-ray requests for skeletal imaging, and to all radiologists who have to report on such requests. EMMcI
