Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: "This second-edition textbook on nuclear hepatology and hepatobiliary diseases is well written ! . informative, useful, handy reference book filled with detailed information, excellent illustrations, and good nuclear hepatology and nuclear hepatic images. ! I highly recommend the book to nuclear and radiology departmental and hospital libraries. It will also be a valuable addition to the nuclear physician's personal medical library, serving as an excellent reference resource for radiologists, nuclear physicians, residents, and medical students confronted with routine or unusual hepatic scan findings." (Usha A. Joseph, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 51 (10), October, 2010) "Authors are among the greatest international experts in the field and with a wide and intense clinical experience. ! this book is full of useful and original information on nuclear hepatology, difficult to be found in other publications. Its main interest is in stimulating a wider diffusion of clinical indications for hepatobiliary scintigraphy in medical and surgical departments, including the emergency department, and centres for liver transplants. ! we strongly recommend this book to all nuclear physicians, from the heads of the department to residents." (Luigi Mansi and Cinzia Landolfi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 38, 2011)
