Very good, but..., June 27, 2007 By Lovblad (Geneva, Switzerland) First of all this book has aged well and when compared to current textbooks it is fantastic. Also it is much better than the new textbook that she has produced, which is simply a list of diagnoses. During training it is very important to dispose of a textbook where in addition to the images (a requisite for any radiology book) there should be a good text to read as well as an extensive bibliography. While probably the best neuroradiology textbook remains the one by Taveras this on is very pleasant to read. The tables are exceptionally well presented and alone they make the purchase mandatory. On the negative side, the spinal section is way too short for any neuroradiology textbook and also it is not really up-to-date on more modern techniques such as diffusion and perfusion MRI. I know these techniques emerged as the book came out and this may seem unfair as a critique in that respect but whoever buys this book must know that additionally getting another more technically oriented textbook would be good (such as the Scott Atlas one). By RESIDENT (HERAKLION-GREECE) 4 STARS JUST BECAUSE IT IS A LITTLE OLD. THERE IS NO INFO ABOUT DIFFUSION-PERFUSION. IT IS A PITTY THAT SHE WON'T WRITE A NEW ONE. ECXEPT THAT, IT IS THE MOST COMPLET AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND NEURORAD-TEXTBOOK. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Excellent basic text but..., July 28, 2003 Reviewer: A reader This remains an excellent textbook on neuroradiology. I think it should still be an essential read for a neuroradiology fellow. It is probably a little too much for a resident to "read through" during his/her neurorad rotations. The pictures are of high quality. But, the text book has one big drawback in that it is becoming more and more outdated. There is no significant mention of Diffusion/perfusion/PET imaging. I found this book to be a valuable read to gain knowlegde of the basics of neuroradiology. It bridges the gap between less detailed books such as the Mosby Handbook Series (also by A. Osborn) and a more complete reference text like Atlas' MRI of the Brain and Spine. This is still an excellent book to have. By "jvmmdphd" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews I agree that this book is awesome. Those of us waiting for an update will be disappointed, however. Dr. Osborne has been teaching at AFIP regularly, and has stated many times that her literary efforts will henceforth be dedicated to electronic-based media (eg Palm-Pilot), and that she is not planning any new editions of this book (as of Spring 2002). 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: The BEST there is !!!, April 25, 1998 Reviewer: A reader This is the best book on NeuroRadiology available. It incorporates pertinent anatomical, pathological and imaging aspects of the entire Nervous system. It is more than adequate for the radiology resident as a review for the boards, and can be also used for the subspecialty exams. It is Simply The Best. Thank you Dr. Osborne for making life easier. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Needs to be updated...., October 1, 2002 By I. T. Gavrilovic "gorgav" (New York, NY United States) This is a very good neuroradiology text. It is useful for those studying radiology as well as neurology. Illustrations and tables are wonderful.

Whether you are studying neurology or neuroradiology, this is an essential text for every resident. Easy to read, good diagrams and clinical correlations make this book one of the better ones.....becoming a little outdated, but still has all the essentials. 5 stars.
