Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
This book is part of the Case Review series from Mosby, known for its excellent radiology titles. Over 350 spinal images--including MR, CT, plain film, and angiogram images--show a variety of diseases and conditions. The images, along with case questions, are presented on right-hand pages, and the answers and comments appear on the reverse sides. This makes a great review program for the boards. --Carolyn Lewis

Product Description:
This volume in the best-selling "Case Review" series uses nearly 200 case studies to challenge your knowledge on a full range of topics in spine imaging. Each case includes a set of 1 to 4 unknown images and four self-test questions, accompanied by answers, supporting literature references, and a commentary to help you gain a better understanding of how the correct diagnosis was reached. The discussion addresses the most important imaging, pathological, and clinical features of the case. This unique case-based format - coupled with an easy-access organization and high-quality images - equips you with the guidance you need to master the material, pass certification exams, and succeed in practice.

  • Serves as a useful preparation tool for certification review with its unique case-based format that mimics the actual exam.
  • Illustrates many nondegenerative diseases of the spine, such as congenital, vascular, neoplastic, inflammatory/infectious, and traumatic cases, including abnormal imaging findings.
  • Covers diseases involving spinal nerves and paraspinal plexuses, facilitating recognition of entities such as hereditary peripheral neuropathies and the perineural spread of neoplastic disease.
  • Offers more than 400 high-quality, state-of-the-art images - most new to this edition - representing a wide range of clinical situations encountered in the field.
  • Features cases at three different levels of difficulty: Opening Round, Fair Game, and Challenge to test the knowledge of any practitioners, regardless of degree or experience.


  • Presents new and expanded coverage of vascular lesions · vetebral lesions · lesions of spinal/peripheral nerves · MR/CT techniques · and more.
  • Features completely new figures as part of 120 new and existing cases.
  • Includes cross references of every case to Grossman & Yousem text, Neuroradiology: The Requisites, 2nd Edition.




Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Be careful!
If you're ordering this book for review for the radiology oral board review, consider it carefully. The difficulty of the cases in this book is far greater than the cases you'll be presented with on oral boards, and you might not want to waste your valuable study time with it. It's the only "Case Review" book I wouldn't recommend for oral boards study purposes.

On the other hand, it is a good book, and the level of difficulty would be good if you're studying for the neuroradiology CAQ. ... Read More
