From the reviews:

"An extremely organised and well presented tome. ... forms two parts. The first part is an atlas of the development of the fetal brain. The sequences are correlated with pathological specimens and are clearly labelled and are very impressive. The second part is, I think, more relevant to clinical radiologists ... . images really are excellent and, again, detail is clear and the description of the pathology is excellent. ... it will guide you through protocols ... . In all, an excellent book ... ." (Dr. N S Ashford, RAD Magazine, August, 2005)

"The editor, Catherine Garel, presents a book on the development of the fetal brain and cerebral pathologies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ... The book is characterized by its many images, its clear structure and the good description of the findings. ... In summary, the present book offers insight into the development of fetal MRI, focusing on the brain. It can be recommended to both practitioners and professionals." (T. J. Vogl, European Radiology, Vol. 16, 2006)
