"This book occupies a unique position in providing a comprehensive
picture of the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for
pediatric and adult congenital heart disease. It is very
technically driven, but remains useful for those of all levels of
experience in this field." (Doody's, 30 September 2011)
