I own 3rd edition and the preordered 4th edition arrived yesterday. I believe every resident should have this book. However, if you already have 3rd edition, you don't need to buy the new one. There is very little revision and the companion MRI animation CD (prepared by two residents) is much inferior to the "MRI made easy" for beginner.
Also, there are serious mistakes on page 1023. The authors don't really understand binary and decimal conversion. 10000000 (8bit)=128 not 256 (which is 100000000--9bit, 11111111 (8bit)=255). The authors just don't know how to handle first binary digit. Even thought it's 2>0=1, but when you convert, you do this 0x2>0 still 0, if it 1, then 1x2>0=1. The table, the answer to the example are completely wrong. It's not just typo or inocent mistake. The author simply don't know, period. Very embarrasing for authors from Harvard.
But I still give the book 5 star. I understand every one has limitation.
