Reviews
“This compact paperback aims to cover all the major aspects of IR and is written by five Canadian radiologists. … the book can be recommended as a useful introduction to IR and should also find a place in the radiology departments as an overview of current IR practice.” ( Dr. Nicholas Reading, RAD Magazine, June, 2016)
