Systematic presentation of Neuroradiology:
Ann Osborn is one of the most amazing Neuroradiologists for her knowledge and ability to entertain, as a guest lecturer. Her book is well organized by presenting material in a clear, concise method with excellent photographs, illustrations and summary boxes. Topics cover everything from trauma, stroke to intra-axial and extra-axial tumors. The spine is also covered, very well. This book is a classic text of this subspecialty. However, it has some limitations: No recent updates or plan for updates... more info
Ver good, but...:
First of all this book has aged well and when compared to current texbooks it is fantastic. Also it is much better than the new textbook that she has produced, which is simplz 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 bibliographz. While probably the best neuroradiology textbook remains the one by Taveras this on is very pleasant to read.... more info
VERY USEFULL:
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.
new edition: think again:
I have heard Annie thinks that electronic info sources and book formats like her Brain:DI. book are the way of the future and therefore a retread of this "obsolete" format (actual sentences) unnecessary. Too bad for us.
