Each example is purpose- fully used to stress important technical features, to give practical advice, or to discuss the role of MRCP in specific clinical situations. Important features of the book are the high qua- lity of the illustrations, the reduction of the text to relevant and practically useful issues, and the simple and logic organisation of the case material.
