We would like to collectively acknowledge and thank the faculty and residents of Duke Radiology, in particular Elmar M. Merkle and Daniel Boll for their influential roles in the early stages of the book. To our residency program director, Charles Maxfield, and our fellowship directors, Jay Baker, James Eastwood, Clyde Helms, Tracy Jaffe, and Paul Suhocki, we say thank you for being supportive of the project. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our former chairman, Carl Ravin, who created the framework at Duke Radiology within which we were able to write this book during residency and fellowship training.

For my lovely wife Tami, thanks for always being supportive and believing in me. I feel fortunate to have you as my wife. Somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good. Thanks also to my parents for their advice that they gave along the way. Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft may attain by fearing to attempt. To my two boys, you bring me endless joy as your father. I love you both very much.

Wells

To Olivia, Leifur, Magnus and Paia for all their love and support.

Kimball

First, I would like to thank Wells for his persistence and his foresight; this project never would have gotten off the ground, much less gotten published, without him. I also want to thank the other coauthors of the book. The struggles of this process brought us together, and our accountability to each other pushed us through.

Special appreciation goes to Tim Amrhein, who really came through in a pinch. His insight was crucial in the editing and revision process. I owe you one, Tim.

Finally, to my wife Kristen, and my boys Carter, Tyler, and Chase: thanks for supporting me through the peaks and valleys of this process. I couldn't have done it without you. You all mean the world to me.

Scott

I want to thank my best friend and wife, Kim, for your love, patience, and understanding during the writing of this book. I am truly blessed to have you in my life. To my big brothers (Duc, Tuan, and Khan) and big sisters (Diana, Lan-Phuong, Nikki, Tina, and Linda), thank you for all of your encouragement and support throughout my life. To my parents, Ngo and Hoa, thank you for your countless sacrifices on my behalf. I wish you were both still here to share in all of your children's success, and I hope you are proud of me.
