Rezensionen

The number and variety of pathological conditions here discussed, expression of a competence and experience of absolute international level, represent the greatest interest of the book. Indeed, it s difficult to find in other texts information that allow to arrive at diagnoses sometimes difficult, as happens in many pathological conditions presented in this text. I strongly recommend the purchase of this book to nuclear physicians, radiologists, orthopedists, pediatricians and all others interested in the subject.
