Not being released until February it seems. I needed this book 3 months ago.

Awful.

The pictures are of such poor quality that the osseus structures are drawn in.


Does anyone have any recommendations on a good "how to" book for more esoteric procedures that may be performed every now and then, e.g. Pulsed RF to the Gasserian Ganglion for facial pain?

Agreed. Some of the content is good, but I can't believe that Lippincot would put out an atlas with such crappy images. I'm sticking with my reliable and well-worn Fenton....

I have to agree the flouro images are substandard. However, the illustrations are outstanding!

I just got this book a couple of days ago.

Outstanding. Lots of clear pictures, clinical correlations, most of what you'll see as a Spine or Pain doc in a format appropriate for non-radiologists.

Neither too technical nor overly simplified descriptions.
