Reviews
"Easy to read and well set out."
"Handbook with concise step by step bullet points through the most important procedures that any resident in radiology (IR or aspiring) should own."
"If just starting in IR, the 'Survival Guide' is a good book for the basics."
"Focus on the indications/contraindications and the complications of the procedure, it seems like that's what they expected medical students to know."
"Most of the book has an e-book component which I was not aware of but has been very helpful while at work so I can access it on my phone."
"Good but I have been looking at the online version as I find the print in the book to be rather small, and I can also use my phone to view it."
"Chapters like bronchial artery embolization, materials and methods in angiography as well as other sections are important parts of our daily interventional life but are not in the hard copy. But if the responsible party chooses to save cost after having the consumer buy the book at full price is just plain wrong."
"BUT, my book ends at page 613 yet the index states fallopian tube recanalization can be found on pages 742-745 and GU system on page 879?"

Prosthetics & Orthotics in Clinical Practice: A Case Study Approach
Building on the strengths of Amputations and Prosthetics 2nd Edition , Doctors Bella J.
Reviews
"Required text for PT program."
"Good description and explanation of different aspects of prosthetics and orthotics."
"I really like this book, it is short but not to short and gives you what you need to know."
"O&P students may find the case study approach of the text useful, but it is not as in-depth as texts like Orthotics and Prosthetics in Rehabilitation, 2e which is an excellent text. Practicing ortho-prosthetists will appreciate the section on "Teaching Prosthetic Control" in chapter 7."
"Severely outdated, not worth the money."
