What a revolutionary book! (2010-02-08)
This book is not an easy read; rather it is meant to be read in small sections. I never realized how much our day-to-day actions affect our brain's ability to work properly. I have made some changes in my lifestyle since reading this book, and I feel like I thinking more clearly already. I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about improving their thinking capacity.
excellent book (2010-02-06)
This book has made big changes in my life. The information about ANTs, etc. was quite useful. I have taken some of the supplements suggested and they've made a beneficial difference. I am doing the suggested physical exercise. Dr. Amen gives many ways to deal with depression and anxiety. I've quite grateful. I've read this book and listened to the audio tapes of it about 20 times.
Great Book..THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER!!!! (2010-02-04)
I just purchased this book and have read it over and over. I now use it as a reference tool to make sure I continue to stay on track. I had alot of things going on with me from drinking to anxiety to add to depression. I felt very hopeless and confused and most of all, just plain all over the place. Now that i understand the root of my actions and why i do the things that i was doing, i was able to take control and make the necessary changes. I have begun taking some of the natural remedies in the book including exercising and staying away from the alcohol. I have noticed a great change in myself and others have also complimented me on the change. Thanks so much for this book and for helping me get back to who i use to be long time ago. I will say please read and see for yourself but stay focus and do what the book says. thanks..
A magnificent book! (2010-01-23)
Reading this book changed the way I think about a lot of things. I guess it was a "life changing event" in certain ways.
It's easy to read.
Dr. Amen's personal comments about his own life and relationships helps you apply what you are reading to your own life and relationships.
It's time well spent.
Great Book for Great Minds (2010-01-03)
I retired from the Colorado Mental Health Institute. I watched many expensive drugs being passed out like so many M&M's. I do have to say the drugs and the artists prescribing them worked simple miracles everyday. But I never once heard anyone even consider natural supplements or nutrition to improve mental illness. Drug representatives were a constant. Nutritional support was not.
I have struggled with mild depression/anxiety and brain fog for years. I have spent thousands trying to find the right herb or the right supplement to clear my mind. If snake oil was being sold, I was the first in line (a bit obsessive compulsive as well). I tried prescription anti-depressants but the side effects were depressing (no, I should not be a 180 pound eunuch).I read this book and started taking the supplements suggested for my particular issues. I can honestly say this book helped me greatly. It even helped me lose weight. I am more relaxed, happier, and have mental clarity for the first time in many years. I wish I would have had this book two decades ago.
Dr Amen also suggests some easy ways to change your inner views and inner chatter. I also found these simple techniques valuable. I have suggested this book to anyone I thought might benefit but truthfully, I think everyone could benefit from a healthy brain.
Ya, Dr. Amen has clinics, ya one could say the books are a marketing ploy but on the other hand would a book from a person with no clinical experience and no medical background be valuable? I can find these people all over the net hawking goods. At least Dr. Amen has the experience, wisdom, and medical background to write intelligently on the subject.

Wonderful Study Guide (2010-02-05)
I just took my boards in November 2009. This book may be older but i did most of my studying with this and the MIP program. It has 4 different study tests and the information went hand in hand with the boards!! and i passed
You would be wise to get this book and go thru it. (2009-12-26)
This book is pretty good for review questions, even though a few are outdated. I used it in combination with other books and passed the CT registry and feel as though this book did help a lot.
I used this as a moc exam!!! (2009-12-16)
I would study all the material you have for the registry and use this book during your final week before the exam to prepare yourself. Time yourself and go over the questions that you did not know then take the exams over and over. They really prepare you for the long hours of test taking and the material is a review of everything. Great guide... I used it and loved it.
Great information book (2009-11-24)
I am studying for the CT registry review and this book has been invaluable. I made copies of the tests and have taken them over and over, plus made notes from things that I was not real sure about. Wonderful book, great price
Resgistry Review In Computed Tomography (2009-11-22)
Is a nice little book to complement already known knowledge, I would buy another one with more updated stuff in it, but is pretty good to study, easy to understand and the explanation on the back helps a lot.

Designed to serve as both a clinical manual and an instructional tool, this text covers the sectional anatomy of the entire body in an easy-to-understand, comprehensive format. The user-friendly design of the book presents actual, diagnostic-quality images from both MRI and CT modalities, side-by-side with line drawings to illustrate the planes of anatomy most commonly imaged. Concise explanations describe the location and function of the anatomy, and each image clearly labels all pertinent anatomic structures to aid in location and identification of anatomy during actual clinical examinations. The result is a practical guide that improves the imaging professional's ability to consistently produce the best possible diagnostic images. Instructor resources are available; please contact your Elsevier sales representative for details.
- Side-by-side presentations of images and line drawings on the same page spread allow the reader to see correlations between line drawings of physical anatomy and actual, diagnostic-quality CT and MR images.
- Over 1,300 images and detailed line drawings demonstrate sectional anatomy for every plane of the body that is commonly imaged.
- Pathology boxes briefly describe common pathologies related to the anatomy being discussed to form connections between the scans in the text and common pathologies readers are likely to encounter in practice.
- Summary tables organize anatomic information for each major muscle group, listing the muscles, points of origin and insertion, and functions.
- Anatomic maps - line drawings that show the angle and level of each scan - appear with the actual scans, so readers can easily access the proper orientation for scanning and identifying anatomy.
- 290 new scans, including more 3D and vascular images, demonstrate current technology.
- A new introductory chapter provides a foundation by teaching the terminology related to sectional anatomy and preparing the reader for more complex content that follows.

Perfect Condition (2009-10-05)
The Sectional Anatomy for imaging professionals, is a good text book for the knowledge of all sectional imaging of all the body. Specialty in the area of brain and nervous sistem. When I received the book, the book was in a perfect condition.
Great Service (2009-04-13)
Product was in excellent condition just like the seller said and I received the item in a timely fashion.
Crossectional anatomy for NONimaging professionals (2008-09-11)
Using this for a cross sectional anatomy class that is required for my Medical Physics program. It seems to be a decent book so far, only covering what I need. I'm not sure how the "imaging professionals" would view it, but I think it is very helpful.
Awesome for CT beginners and pros (2007-04-10)
Has tons of true to life CT images, great descriptions, easy to follow. Also recommend obtaining the workbook that goes along with it. Together they help the understanding process faster and clearer. Don't even need to attend a class with these books!
Caused more frustration than anything (2006-10-28)
This was the required text for my Sectional Anatomy course, as part of my radiography curriculum. I found the layout of the book disorganized and frustrating. I felt it would have been helpful and appropriate for the text to address the sequencing of CT/MRI images instead of showing a random shot here or there...I suppose that's difficult to do without a multimedia/interactive presentation, but I still had alot of trouble learning via this text. I found the abbreviated captions virtually useless and ill-concieved. It's one thing if you're tyring to quiz yourself and want a hint, but if you're trying to learn from scratch, it would have made much more sense seeing the long-hand terms written out in the columns so we know what we're looking at. Having to glance down at the caption and search for the abbreviation in question proved very distracting to the learning process. And the written text was...well, not enough text. Instead of offering helpful ways to differentiate and remember the many different body parts and structures, the text follows a very robotic "the A bone connects to the B bone which leads to the C artery and supplies the D organ...". I felt overwhelmed with similar-sounding descriptions and didn't take much away from the learning experience that wasn't lost in days. If I already had an understanding of cross-sectional anatomy before using this text, it may have served as a succinct review, but given the fact it is assigned to first-time X-sectional learners I felt it was too abstract and devoid of personality. If I decide to go into CT or MRI in the future, I plan on selling this book and doing a little research on finding the best and most current text available at the time. I can tell this one won't age well.

Nice little book but.... (2010-02-18)
It's missing the brain! Considering this is part of a "Radiology Pocket Atlas Series" one would think that they would include the brain; after-all those of us using these books would expect it in there. I'd give the book 4 stars because it is quite detailed (minus the missing section) but there's another similar sized/shaped book that has all the body parts including the brain!
Body of CT anatomy (2008-10-31)
I'm adding this book to my list of books that I'm using for the CT registry review. My only complaint, is that it doesn't have a chapter on head anatomy. It would be a more complete publication if it would cover this area.
Great reference tool! (2008-09-28)
This book is resonably priced and a great reference source! I have talked to dosimetrists and physicists alike who all rely on this tool.
SMALL AND SIMPLE (2005-10-03)
SMALL SIZE, EASY TO CARRY BUT WITH NO PARTICULAR THINGS TO POINT OUT. GOOD FOR BEGINNERS.

ct review (2010-02-05)
This book is very contradicting. I would not recommend for boards. i used the MIP program and the ct study guide an older addition
Don't get your hopes up on this one (2009-12-26)
I loved Bushong's rad tech book, however, this one is no where near that level of quality. Who knows you may like it and it's not very expensive, but I wouldn't get your expectations up very high.
Great book & great sellers (2009-10-30)
This book was stated that it was used, but in good condition. The sellers were right, the book was in excellent condition and looked brand new. Shipped pretty fast. I would definately buy from them again. This book was worth it and was definately what I was looking for. The quizzes after each chapter is very helpful and there's even a section with definitions, which is nice to have. Great book for beginners in CT!
very good (2009-08-06)
Very good book.It is like a reference book those who knows the ct and its principles,instrumentation and reconstruction modes.It could be one of the best text book for those who want to be CT tech if the author would describe in detail to all the chapters included in the book and the descriptions to all the answers of the questions.
Simplified but Effective (2008-10-29)
There are many CT book out there, that will try to be the best, but going back to the basic, KISS principle, is usually the most effective way to learn.
The content is presented in a better easy way of understanding the material with excellent questions for review. Some questions are repeated throughout.
Would highly recommend this material for study.

Good Reference (2009-10-05)
Hi,
I work at a small hospital with a small radiology department that just added CT. So these reference books are great to have on hand
Great Book/Horrible Seller (2009-08-09)
Once I finally received the book,(it took almost a month) it's great. I was apprehensive about the copyright of 1994, but it provides all the fundemental information needed to study and learn for the registry exam. I would stay away from this seller. It took almost a month and several e-mails and additional money out of pocket to receive the purchase. Amazon was good and made it right with a refund of the additional out of pocket expense as soon as they found out about it. Bad xperience with this seller but impressive custommer service and response from Amazon!
Need for Class (2009-07-30)
I am using this book for a class. It arrived promptly and safely. Book seems to be a little repetitious, but maybe I need that to help in studding the subject.
AMAZON RATING (2009-06-26)
This is a rating for Amazon who I purchased the book through. I payed extra shipping charges to get 2 day delivery on this item which I needed before my class began. My order was placed on 6/21 and when I view the tracking it is saying it will not arrive until 6/26 hardly second day delivery even if we don't count the 21st (it was a Sunday). Expedited shipping from here seems to be a sham.
This book is terrible! (2008-01-13)
This book is terrible. It rambles on about topics and then says we don't even use them in CT. So why did I just read all that? The parts that I feel could use more discussion are barely touched. I do not recommend this book.

Awesome Book (2009-09-13)
This book is everything I expected and more. It has helped me with my studies for the registry, and provided additional information that I did not expect to receive. Fast and accurate shipment from the seller! Would recommend to anyone studying for the CT or MR certifications!
very good book (2009-08-06)
Very good qualities images.Very good descriptions of pathology and procedures.I would like to recommend the author to include more images of the pathology from each and every systems.As i am interested in ct,so i would prefer more ct images with pathology,with and without contrast,differential diagnosis and so on.
255 Pages (2008-08-19)
Is a mistake in book description. This book have only 255 pages and not 432.
Review on CT/MR Atlas (2007-09-18)
As a 2nd year Radiology resident, this book is a good primer for CT and MRI correlates. It's in no way a substitute for a text or full-series discussion, but to solidify key concepts of common pathology as your reviewing cases initially, it's hard to beat.
Cheap and Introductory...a good buy.
Very good Tool (2007-06-14)
This is a very good portable resource, offering a review regarding common pathologies. This will help you to identify the meanly characteristics of the diseases. The price is accessible. Good quality images.

Good content poor binding (2007-09-27)
FYI: Book content is good, however the crafting/binding is poor. Without much use several pages are falling off.
Great introduction to body ct (2007-09-20)
This book cover all the basic stuff needed in body ct. It should be used as a introduction to the subject.
Highly recommended.
Good book but poor quality (2007-01-10)
I am a first-year Radiology resident that was looking for an introductory book that was easy to finish on my first Body CT rotation. The Fundamentals book was a good text with all the necessary info to build upon. The only negative thing I have to say is that the quality of the binding was terrible. After about a week the binding fell apart so that now the final 150+ pages are no longer bound to the book. I'm pretty finiky about books and take care of them, so it's pretty disappointing. Otherwise, its a good first text.
good book if you don't own Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology (2005-12-12)
This is a great book with excellent information on body CT imaging.
The reason I give it three stars instead of five is that it's basically an excerpt from the main text of Fundamentals of Diagnostic Radiology.
If you already own that book, don't buy this one.
Otherwise, I highly recommend it.
