Essentials of Osborn's Brain: A Fundamental Guide for Residents and Fellows 1st Edition

From legendary neuroradiologist Dr. Anne G. Osborn comes a focused, practical learning tool designed specifically for trainees: Essentials of Osborn’s Brain. Adapted from the acclaimed second edition of Osborn’s Brain, this streamlined guide distills the most essential information into a high-yield format tailored for residents and fellows in radiology, neuroradiology, neurology, and neurosurgery. Organized to mirror the structure of a residency curriculum, the book guides learners through critical neuroimaging concepts using a rotation-based approach, ensuring a strong foundational understanding of complex pathology and its imaging correlates.

Concise, clinically relevant, and richly illustrated, this book is ideal both as a study resource and as a daily reference in the reading room or on clinical rotations.
