This is an excellent review of the important brain diagnoses. Great job with getting all important info in one small package. This is certainly one of the best general review books ever written for neuro. all radiology, neuro and neurosurgery departments should have a copy of this book around. and at a great price! much less than giant hardback books, that are harder to find relevent information quickly in!

This is a handy little pocket book of the most commonly encountered diagnoses in neurorads. Picture quality is good, author is very well known, an authority in the field, the notes in the book are concise.

Worth the money.

This is an excellent book that includes 100 diagnoses in brain imaging. The text is perfectly organized for quick reference and really allows one to rapidly find answers to common questions about the diasease entity ie- key facts, CT/MRI/PET/DWI imaging features, pathology, ddx, clinical features. PERFECT! A very valuable book for interns, residents and fellows who at times find themselves in quick need of a short imaging synopsis of a disease process ie- at the viewbox or on the wards.

I think it would be safe to say that one would be unlikely to get a case at the radiology Boards (both north and south of the border) that is not in this book. I think it would be nice to have around for a quick review the night before your oral exam. However, this is NOT a substitute for reading through a more traditional brain imaging text (ie- Mosby Handbook Series) during one's residency.

In my opinion, this is one of the top publications in this field. Anne Osborn does a very good job in covering the many possible radiologic findings of the brain.
