Since 1980, Dr. Osborn's An Introduction to Cerebral Angiography has been the definitive text on this imaging modality. Now, this classic work has been completely revised, reorganized, and updated and expanded from an introductory book into a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference on cerebral angiography.Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography, Second Edition, is organized into three major parts. Part 1 covers techniques and technical aspects of cerebral angiography. Part 2 is a detailed description of normal anatomy, anatomic variations, and congenital anomalies. Part 3 focuses on pathological entities, including trauma, aneurysms, stroke, vascular malformations, atherosclerosis, and vasculitis.Coverage includes new information on vascular territories, film subtraction, and magnetic resonance angiography. The text is thoroughly illustrated with 1,200 radiographs and line drawings, all of them new to this volume. Another new feature of this Second Edition is the use of boxed summaries throughout the text to highlight key points.

5.0 out of 5 stars The final Armada!, May 18, 2000

This review is from: Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography (Hardcover)

As a professional neuroradiologist, I recommend this book to all radiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons who wish to choose just one book in the field of cerebral angiography. In this era of MRA and CTA, this book can give readers not too much, not too little knowledge about normal anatomy and pathological findings. Figures were clearly drawn and clinical DSA images were carefully chosen. Maybe those who wish to become professional neurointerventionists prefer those historical books edited by Dr. Newton, but I suppose even such people would love this book and read it daily.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not the best, October 4, 2009

This review is from: Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography (Hardcover)

While good because very didactic, it lacks the scope of a book such as the Huber Yasargil on cerebral angiography.It has the advantage of beiong very well written and also by being more recent than other works on angiography that have dated quite a bit.

This review is from: Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography (Hardcover)

I bought an earlier edition of this book more than 10 years ago, when I was still a neurosurgeon wannabe. I couldn't have chosen better.It is well written, lucid and makes a great foundation to build ones' knowledge of vascular anatomy on. unlike many speciality books, this one makes for a gripping read and does not compromise clarity by indulging in obtuse language. I also read it through my residency. It is delightful in that every time you return to it, you learn more! From the very first read, it enabled me to feel at ease with angiography. Over the course of years, whenever I have been asked for advice, this one is always on the list of must haves. In fact, the reason of my purchasing the current edition is just because the last person who borrowed my copy (conveniently?) forgot to return it :)
I recommend this book particularly to those in neurosurgery, neurology and radiology, without any reservations.
