Editorial Review: Product Description: Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Succinct, yet detailed and heavily illustrated reference reviews modern imaging of the central nervous system. Covers the brain and spine imaging with the exclusion of head and neck. Presents advances in biochemistry and physiology within the realm of neurology. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Better than requisites!Look, this book is not as thorough as the requisites, but it's a great place to start and the outline format is good for review of the major salient topics. Then, you can fill in the gaps with more complicated and confusing tomes like the requisites or DI Brain. Rating:  - Usable, but far from perfectThe book has a lot of pluses, but unfortunately some minuses as well. The good things are that it is small (relatively to Requisites), an easy read, lots of good pictures, covers pretty much all you need to know for the boards. I don't particularly like the organization of the book. Would like to see more summary/differential/pearls type of stuff. Overall, I would recommend this book, not because I am a big fan, but because I did not find anything better out there. Rating: - Good Initial Read for Radiology ResidentsThis book is a fairly good place to start for you first couple of neuroradiology rotations. With a little determination you can read the whole book in a standard four week rotation. I wish it had more anatomy included and there is little information on neck imaging. My other (less important) complaint is the order of the chapters. I think it would make more sense as a basic primer to start out with the chapters on trauma and stroke and speak about the much rarer leukoencephalopathies later.
