I'm not a big fan of atlas like books in radiology, and thincked twice before I decided to purchase this book. But now I feel myself satisfied. Really good atlas in neuroradiology, not so much text, a lot of images and very good brief description of almost all neuroradiology practice conditions. The principle of "patterns" works well in daily practice, when you know what you see, but need fast and brief confirmation of your diagnosis version. Easy to search and too easy to get information you need. Nice effort from authors and McGraw Hill Company. Recommended for all general radiologists and last year residents.

Bought, leafed through it, then quickly returned it.

I thought by the description it would be an updated version of the Yock Neuro book that everyone likes, but hasn't been updated in a long time and can't be found anymore.

The descriptions are superficial, some are a waste of time, and even though I'm not that great in neuro I found a few outright errors.

With Yousem's book almost a complete failure in clarity, and Osborne's book woefully out of date, the Neuro void yawns before us all. I have high hopes for the Problem Solving in Neuro. please God, someday give me a good Neuro book.
