CAVEAT EMPTOR! May end up with just Volume 1! by P. Offenbach (Doylestown, PA)  1 Stars
January 28, 2009
I ordered this 2 volume set expecting to get both books. Lo and behold, the order arrives with just volume 1! Had I known this problem would occur, I would just have gone ahead and purchased the book at a discount from the publisher website. I complained by phone, and the customer service representative seemed to have a very hard time understanding what the problem was. I had to try to explain over and over and over before I got anywhere. It was only after I gave the actual two separate ISBN numbers corresponding to this two book set that the AMAZON representative started understanding. To add insult to injury, several weeks after volume 2 finally arrived, I got an email from AMAZON reminding me that they had not received the initial book I was supposed to have returned! Apparently, my initial complaint was processed as a return, and AMAZON was expecting to have volume 1 returned. I had to explain that the order was incomplete to begin with and that I had received only 1 of the 2 books of the two volume set I had paid for and that there was therefore nothing for me to return to AMAZON! I was then told that the email was sent out in error. I would seriously think twice before ordering this book from AMAZON. You do not want to end up wasting time with a fisaco like this.

Great neuroradiology book by Lovblad (Geneva, Switzerland)  5 Stars
May 20, 2007
This is an essential texbook. While today most texbooks tend to become atlases of images that contain very little written information, this one manages to be very well written and contain a lot of information in addition to having very nice images. While it was sometimes difficult to find a difference between the second and first editions, this work has now had quite an overhaul. It might not be ultra-new but it is very nice. It has been expanded to two volumes. It also conbtains a very nice and extensive section on the spine which was one of the main weaknesses of the book by Anne Osborne. this is clearly superior even if it lacks the wonderful tables of that other book. SAome of the more basic chapters may be somewhat complex but they can be easily skipped in favour of the great clinical content.

Not worth the money. 1 Stars
June 04, 2004
Both poorly written and edited. Pictures are poor quality. Too much basic science and not enough clinical application. Overall, good for Ph.Ds, not physicians. Far superior books available for radiologists and radiologists in training at cheaper price.

readable and concise  4 Stars
July 28, 2003
Complete well organized text. Very readable with the exception of the sections on MRI physics (a little too much "high-level", mathematical physics for the everyday neuroradiologist). Good quality images and pathological correlation. Overall, very good reference text that is not too overly and unnecessarily encyclopedic and exhausting to read.

State of the Art by FoodMan (Indian Springs, AL USA) 5 Stars
October 29, 2002
Scott Atlas' book is THE reference text of choice for neuroradiologists and other neuroimagers. There simply is no other neuroradiology text that approaches the depth, quality, and timeliness of imaging and pathological information provided in this text. The MR physics discussions are unparalleled, as well. Other less exhaustive neuroradiology texts might be more appropriate for radiology residents, but this is the text that Neuroradiology fellows and attendings should be referring to. Bravo.
