I'm impressed at the depth of information here every time I open it up. This is the gold standard currently for anyone planning to do much electrodiagnostic medicine.

Having trained under the author, I agree with Dr. Dumitru's assessment that he has taken the wealth of all published electrodiagnostic literature to date and condensed it for us in this nice "little" 1500 or so pages. I would call it essential. I am now 4 years out from my residency, ABEM board certified, and run a primarily electrodiagnostic clinic. I still refer to this heavyweight regularly. Strengths: thorough, excellent figures and tables, teaches a foundation upon which the electrodiagnostic physician can reason/deduce. Downsides: There are multiple editing errors found within the text, and the index is atrocious. I am able to more easily find information having placed section tabs throughout the book. The binding also fell apart within the first year after purchasing the 2nd edition. A 3rd edition would be nice in the coming years...

This is perhaps the best most extensive book in
the field of electrodiagnostic medicine. It is
a great study and reference book for the physician as well
as the technologist. It doesn't get much better than this!

I took a course in EMG/NCS which required one of two texts - either Kimura, or Dumitru. I took the cheaper one, and not until I purchased this text did I realize what I'd missed out on.

There's nothing wrong with Kimura's text, however, this test is superior. Each area of Electrodiagnostic Medicine is approached on a "big picture" level, however, there is enough detail and clinical "pearls" to last for years. Whenever I have a question regarding a study observation, I know to start here - it's the encyclopedia of Electrodiagnostic testing.

This is one of the most thorough textbooks that I have ever read. It provides a comprehensive base for aspiring electrodiagnosticians. If one wishes to pursue a career in electrodiagnostic medicine, this text is a must have.

This is a preety good reference book. I've already read the firt part: Fundamenctal Principles. I guess that it was a very comprehensive and acessible content. One thing that I've found helpful were the "appendix" of the chapters 2 and 3. They gave some details of basic eletrophysiology and instrumentation.
I think this book is a reference-one and must be present on the desk of every neurophysiologist.

Shipping on time, book in excelent conditions, would buy from this seller again.
