I just read this book last week after years of reading it twice in my residency time. After all years of working with CT, it goes so fast to read them and sometime you feel the information are basic and even some of them are out of date as this books was published in 1997, but still a good refresher and well written. It is bad that they stopped publishing more editions !

Good foundation for Body CT, not bad in the chest either.
