Customer Reviews

Excellent basic text

This book is unique in providing a basic overview of all areas of neuroradiology. The book also provides important guidelines for the performance of a number of procedures. For a single text covering the fundamentals of neuroradiology, appropriate for medical students, residents, fellows, and for board review, Castillo's "Neuroradiology Companion" is superb.

Great Book

This is one of the better of the series. Provides a good coverage of major topics without all of the confusion of the Requisites Neuroradiology, which I don't personally like.

Great introductory read

This is a very readable book on neuroimaging. Nicely divided into sections eg- trauma, tumor, head and neck, etc. Good quality images. Short bulleted text with some key facts on the opposite page makes for a quick read. Would be very good for a junior resident to go through early in their training to get acquainted with some of the more common diseases. I think it is unlikely that one would be presented with a case at the oral radiology boards that is not found in this text. Still, this is not a substitute for reading a traditional neuroimaging text such as the Mosby Handbook series or the Requistites series sometime during residency.

very informative book
