"The text is comprenehsive, well organized, and referenced, with some overlap, and written plainly with an appropriate number of charts, tables, and diagrams for reinforcement, which is essential in convenying inherently abstract concepts. [... T]his book should be considered an invaluable resources and recommended reading. However, as a reference, almost all chapters provide unique analysis of medical teamwork and training issues not readily found in other texts, and to which any radiologist or health care professional can easily relate and find relevant and instructive at some level when translated into their own practice." -Gerald Legiehn, Radiology
