Additional material is provided on basic spinal anatomy, CT, MRI, the nuclear medicine of the spine, and the pharmacology of the medications used in injection procedures.

Great Work

I love the illustrations in the text
Discussions are also fairly good
But it will be nicer if the price were a little cheaper
