Rezensionen

"It is a well-written book with excellently labelled images throughout, references to articles for more in-depth reading and helpful tips with respect to reducing US artefact. ... This book would appeal to healthcare professionals (urologists, trainee radiologists or specialist nurses) involved in US-guided prostate biopsy, particularly at the beginning of their training in the procedure." (Sacha Pierre and Dr. Jonthan Richenberg, RAD Magazine, January, 2016)
