The remaining six chapters correlate the radiographic findings with this normal cross sectional anatomy and illustrate the changes seen with vâarious pathologic states.

The radiographs are of excellent quality and the many examples of extraperitoneal air studies beautifully illustrate retroperitoneal anatomy. Some of the illustrations and line drawings are confusing and less than ideal, but the majority are very helpful in clarifying some new and exciting anatomic concepts. From the point of view of an ultrasonographer, this text poses three problems. First, much of the discussion is centered on the normal position of bowel structures and their displacement by mass lesions. This is difficult t o recognize or appreciate by ultrasound in most cases. Second, the majority of the horizontal cross sections are
