entry for ‘intussusception’, although it can be found under individual disease states. The illustrations are truly outstanding, with good quality reproduction, clear labelling and description. A feature that I particularly enjoyed was the radiological and pathological specimen correlation. I would have liked to have seen a chapter included specifying pathways for investigation of patients with possible or known small bowel tumours, so that the reader could quickly access this information in a clinical context. This textbook will be used primarily as a reference by radiologists who specialize in gastrointestinal radiology and by radiologists preparing for examinations. It is highly recommended for both purposes. Radiographers in training and in clinical practice will also appreciate the strengths of this book as a reference. Furthermore, radiographers undertaking postgraduate studies in gastrointestinal topics will appreciate the depth of detail in this resource. Finally, radiographers in specialized posts, including ultrasound, computed tomography and angiography, will wish to refer to this book for details of technique and description of diseases. Radiographers engaged in luminal contrast studies of the small bowel are particularly commended to read the chapter on ‘Radiological Examination of the Small Bowel’ by Dr Nolan. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this excellent book, and recommend it as a reference text for radiology departments and institutions responsible for undergraduate and postgraduate radiographic training.
breast imaging modalities such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and scintigraphy are well covered, although Doppler is not mentioned. There is a chapter dedicated to the post-surgical breast, which includes the imaging of implants. There are numerous illustrations of high quality. The use of the word ‘biopsy’ is rather ambiguous throughout the book. It is often not clear whether the author is referring to FNA, core biopsy or open biopsy. There was an impression throughout the book, which was more explicit in the chapter on guided techniques, that FNA is not widely practised in the U.S.A., whereas it is commonly useful in the U.K. Overall, this would be a very valuable book in any department involved in mammographic imaging, useful to practising and trainee radiologists, radiographers and surgeons. It is particularly useful to have the ancillary methods of imaging, the post-operative breast and up-to-date interventional techniques all described in a text alongside standard mammography.

This hardback book is the work of Deltoff and Kogon, members of the Canadian chiropractic academic establishment. The authors’ aim is to provide a contemporary pictorial appreciation of pathologic lesions that can and do present in daily practice. It is also expected to bridge the gap between comprehensive, voluminous texts and synopses that focus on rare disorders. They have drawn extensively on their own colleagues’ experiences in gathering the material for this book. The book is organised according to the mnemonic “CATBITESS” (C, congenital, A, arthridites, T, tumours, B, blood, I, infection, T, trauma, E, endocrine, S, soft tissue, S, scoliosis). Each chapter begins with a thumbprint summary list of headings and sub-headings for easy reference. There are more than 900 illustrations, most of them being radiographs of good quality. There are a few line drawings to illustrate specific points. Sadly there is hardly any mention of value of MRI and soft

This book is an up-to-date account of breast imaging, both screening and symptomatic. The opening chapter explains the data on which screening programmes are based and deals with the controversial issue of screening between the ages of 40 and 49. There is an excellent chapter on mammography, giving a detailed approach to individual mammography findings. The other
