Review:

This is a great book. Excellent images including detailed full color drawings. Gets you quickly up to speed on sPine imagining with the emphasis on MRI. Book is available in PDA and paperback format. I own both, but use the PDA version more often because also have the other pocket radiologist books on PDA eg. interventional, brain, head and neck and pediatric. The pocket interventional radiologist book has chapters on lumbar and cervical facet/epidural steroid injections as well as myelography, discography, vertebroplasty, needle control techniques, C1-2 puncture, SI joint blocks and spinal angiography."

"It is rare for a revolutionary idea to come to fruition in the medical publishing world.... [T]he authors have produced valuable, high quality books/PDAs, which have 'broken the mold' in radiology publications. I cannot think of a practicing neuroradiologist who would not find these to be useful or a resident or fellow who would not benefit from having this information 'at the ready.' I recommend these PocketRadiologist books and CDs in the highest possible terms."
