Several of the those books were written by the author of this book, and I have never been disappointed, even though my expectations were rather high for her books. Practically speaking, this 'Brain' is a textbook to read through, not for a quick reference like her another strain of books for the purpose such as Diagnostic Imaging Brain. Recently, I'm, sort of, tired of quick-reference-type of books and was looking for something to sit with. In this textbook, the fonts are bigger and figures are plentiful, and it is possible to learn how to systematically think in front of the daily neuroradiology cases. Lastly, for those people who would like to use this book for a quick reference, I think it is also good for the purpose despite of what I have said so far, as the contents are nicely organized and the descriptions are separated for each category and disease entity. Simply, a wonderful gift to our professional community. // added comment after reading the whole book from cover to cover // Now I can give you some analysis why this book is amazingly great. # The writing style is consistent throughout the book, including the figure captions. # The author carefully focuses the description of a disease to key points rather than derails into an unrestrained long narrative, while maintaining a healthy amount of repetition and redundancy to allow readers to learn the core concepts naturally. # The anatomical reviews are, if necessary, given up-front in the chapters, to save readers' co-lateral effort. # Great figures, especially the graphic depictions of the anatomy and typical disease patterns # Not too small font size, no small matter, especially to senior readers # Categorized 'selected references' comes with a practical quantity # Personally, I found the Differential Diagnosis part most attractive, where the author's succinct comments convey the points to weigh. A page-turner! Bravo! Review: Great update to her classic "Red" book - Dr. Osborn is well-known among radiologists. Many have attended at least one of her lectures during training or at AFIP. Her last neuroradiology book (i.e. the "red" book) was released in 1994. The text was highly recommended for it's readability and coverage of intracranial pathology however was becoming outdated when I was in training. This new textbook is updated with all new illustrations and cases. There are updates to the concepts of certain disease processes such as MS along with numerous illustrations of anatomy, pathology slides, and MR/CT studies for each disease/pathology. There are also examples of perfusion/CTA/MRA studies when appropriate. Like her lectures she does an excellent job of highlighting the key points of each disease/pathology that help you narrow down the differential diagnosis in real life. The book is at it's best when she discusses her thought process and approach in formulating an appropriate but narrow differential diagnosis. Flip to pages 721-724 where she gives her approach to sellar masses for an excellent example. The only minor complaints I have is there are alot of acronyms in the text. I think it's fine as the font size is a nice size and the textbook is already fairly large. There are a few typos and errors in the illustrations and cases but they were easy to pick out. The use of black and white arrows can be confusing at times when trying to match the description to the illustration. This book would be excellent for an upper-level resident/fellow or for practicing radiologists looking to learn more or build upon their knowledge of neuroradiology. The first section on trauma and the section on stroke would be a great start for a lower-level resident. It's easy to pick a section of interest and read up on it as the book does not demand you read it front-to-back. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,224,664 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #216 in Diagnostic Imaging (Books) #422 in Neurosurgery (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (49) | | Dimensions | 9 x 2.25 x 11.25 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1931884218 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1931884211 | | Item Weight | 9.35 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 1272 pages | | Publication date | November 29, 2012 | | Publisher | AMIRSYS | ## Images ![Osborn's Brain - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iQQQEDQfL.jpg) ![Osborn's Brain - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81l0fhbjfwL.jpg) ![Osborn's Brain - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41JKrmhEmlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The textbook of neuroradiology *by N***I on June 26, 2013* I have been learning radiology for more than thirty years now, and have naturally read some textbooks in neuroradiology.

If she decides to write a similar book for head & neck or spine, they would most certainly be on my wish list. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/3754412-osborns-brain](https://www.desertcart.be/products/3754412-osborns-brain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
