Solid Text, terrible binding by James Pham (Oklahoma)

4 Stars

Our RAdiology residency has this text as a reading for book club and of all of us who purhcased the book either this year or in prior years, the binding fell apart within weeks. Unacceptable for any hardbound textbook. Also, the authors are somewhat clever, however I noticed that when you're really focusing in, that some of the comments become distracting--I've even had some of my attendings say you should blacken them out as you go through. Otherwise, a good, concise, well-laid out text. I would recommend except to expect the binding to fall apart regardless of how hard you try....

A good book, but not for people with low attention span... by DCOM in Madrid (Spain)

First of all, this is a good book. It covers most of the topics a 1st year radiology resident needs to know. However, it wanders too much on shallow comments and -supposedly funny- jokes that only distracted me from my study. I'm a person who struggles to keep her concentration, I have a poor attention span, if you will, so when I was reading something complex (as most of the subjects in neuroradiology are) and then the authors ended up with a lame joke, it was as if everything I just read became lost. That may be 'my' limitation, as I mentioned, not a real flaw of the book, but I think people who, like me, need a more 'clasically' structured and 'traditionally' written text, should be warned that this volume of the Requisites series isn't the most adequate to suit their way of study.

The best introductory book about Neuroradiology today. The pictures are of great quality. I think it is better than the old Osborn Diagnostic Neuroradiology. Recommended.

This book strays a lot on main pertinent findings and tends to ramble. There is TOOOOOOOO much information at times. The next edition is suppose to be cleaned up quite a bit. Otherwise its a decent book.

Sí, pero No. Le falta bastante.... by Arsenio Cavada Laza (La Laguna. Santa Cruz De Tenerife, Islas Canarias Spain)

Cuando un Radiólogo ( no neuroradiólogo ) ocupado necesita revisar un texto de Neuroradiología para resolver un caso o revisar un capítulo determinado de la patología, creo que se puede afirmar rotundamente que buscará una fuente que: 1. Exponga con rigor y actualización el estado actual del conocimiento de la materia, sin información supreflua y con una organización atractiva y fácil de digerir. 2. Ilustre iconográficamente el topic e forma apropiada, con profusión y calidad de ejemplos. 3. Aporte orientaciones prácticas ( protocolos, algoritmos diagnósticos, diagnósticos diferenciales ilustados etc). El texto que nos ocupa creo que cumple adecuadamente con el primer punto ( aunque prefiero otros como el clásico de Anne Osborn), cumple mal con el segundo( ilustraciones escasas y en algunos casos de muy baja calidad) siendo en este sentido totalmente superado incluso por textos más antiguos como el Kirkwood y absolutamente arrasado por la oferta de Amirsys; por otro lado, cumple discretamente con el tercer punto. He leido el texto y diría que es aceptablemente bueno pero si me piden consejó, recomendaría la lectura del clásico de la profesora Americana acompañado de su excelente libro del proyecto Amirsys. Por supuesto, esto hace necesario gastar más dinero....
