Reviews
From the reviews:
“It presents a very readable atlas of knee MRI with plenty of MRI images, cross-referenced where appropriate to diagrams, endoscopy images and cadaveric specimen photographs. … As a quick reference guide it works very well. … References are provided throughout for those who wish to study further. … is packed with useful information and still offers fair value for money.” (John Talbot, RAD Magazine, April, 2014)
