Her textbook Diagnostic Neuroradiology had made quite an impact when it came out. The only comparable book was that by Ruth Ramsey previously. Since that textbook had been the reference for everybody, a new edition was expected by everybody. This new format comes as a surprise. While it is certainly more exhaustive in scope than her previous book (taht was a bit skimpy on the spine IMHO), the format used does not do too well with me. I have personally never really liked these list-type textbooks. This is of course a good reference for anyone who wants to look up something during daily routine (even if each reference section is somewhat too short) but it cannot really be used to learn the basics of neuroradiology that one neeeds for training. The sometimes lengthy discussions in the book by Taveras are needed in order to approach Neuroradiology as an art. while you probably have to buy this for reference you must also get another textbook.

It's amazing how the authors can join a resumed textbook and at the same time very complete .Fantastic illustrations. Diferencial diagnosis are the superb. I really reccomend the acquisition of this book.
