The text is written by two authors and covers all topics in a consistent manner without the redundancies or lapses that are common in multi-authored texts.

The user-friendly design and format allows rapid access to essential information and the incorporation throughout of relevant clinical and radiographic information makes it a complete diagnostic resource inside the reporting room.
