Reviews

 

"…a timely and well-needed book…a good purchase for anyone interested in 3D imaging, whether a novice or expert. The book is well worth a look and should be of interest to radiologists and anyone else interested in 3D imaging…the editors should be commended for a job well done."

-American Journal of Roentgenology
