Reviews:
"This is an excellent review of the important brain diagnoses. Great job with getting all important info in one small package. This is certainly one of the best general review books ever written for neuro. all radiology, neuro and neurosurgery departments should have a copy of this book around. and at a great price! much less than giant hardback books, that are harder to find relevent information quickly in!"

"This series is a very good idea. Get the top people in a radiology subspecialty (and Dr. Osborn is an outstanding author of neuroradiology text) to write a small pocketbook on the most common conditions seen. Perfect for the resident in almost any medical field, the beginning radiology resident, and of course, the medical student."

"This is an excellent pocket-sized reference book.... this book represents a reasonably priced easy-to-use pocket-sized reference book that is a valuable addition to the literature."
-- James V. Byrne in Neuroradiology 45: 410 - 2003
"It is rare for a revolutionary idea to come to fruition in the medical publishing world.... [T]he authors have produced valuable, high quality books/PDAs, which have 'broken the mold' in radiology publications. I cannot think of a practicing neuroradiologist who would not find these to be useful or a resident or fellow who would not benefit from having this information 'at the ready.' I recommend these PocketRadiologist books and CDs in the highest possible terms."
