Commentaire

`The book has 157 illustrations, most of them produced by subtraction technique. They are of particularly good quality. For anyone confronted with the difficult findings of angiographies of the upper extremities this book serves as a valuable textbook. But the numerous illustrations also renders it feasible as a ready reference atlas. It can whole-hartedly be recommended to any radiodiagnostician working in angiography.'
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine
`This monograph is a concise work devoted to diagnostic angiography of the upper extremities. There are 10 well-written chapters which describe the author's experience gained from 750 selective arteriograms of the upper extremity ... The text is superbly illustrated, concise, and written in an easy-to-read style. It provides a ready reference and is recommended for all who perform diagnostic angiography to the upper extremity. Also, the book will be a valuable addition to radiology department libraries.'
