Customer Reviews

Excellent basic text but...
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 But, the text book has one big drawback in that it is becoming more and more outdated.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.

The BEST there is !!!
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.

No new edition is forthcoming
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).
