I have been learning radiology for more than thirty years now, and have naturally read some textbooks in neuroradiology. 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.
