An Invaluable Resource!
This book was an invaluable resource for planning evidence-based treatment interventions on a stroke unit at a nationally recognized rehabilitation facility. Most of the OTs working at this facility had this book as their right-hand manual. Although it wasn't part of the required reading while in graduate school, I'm so thankful I came across it during fieldwork.

A must have book for anyone studying stroke!
As a biophysics graduate student researching techniques to image stroke I needed a good reference that covered all aspects of stroke. This text was exactly what I was looking for! It provides an excellent background in the physiology and biochemistry of stroke and introduces current questions being asked by the scientific community. Of particular interest to me were the chapters on imaging techniques. These chapters bring the reader up to date on the many imaging modalities currently being used in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of stroke patients. Anyone hoping to gain a detailed and thorough understanding of the many aspects surrounding stroke will find it in the pages of this book. I highly recommend it!

Each chapter is authored by a team consisting of an MD and a sonography technologist. The book includes new Doppler scan images.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Excellent text for vascular diagnostic professionals
I teach vascular sonography and this has become my main textbook. Dr. Strandness was the father (along with several uncles) of the noninvasive vascular diagnostic field. This text (newly edited by Zierler et al.) is clearly written and lavishly illustrated.

Excellent
This edition is current and is packed with useful resources for the sonographer. This is an excellent book!

Meyers' dynamic radiology of the abdomen

簡介(Book Description from Barnes & Noble)：
The Sixth Edition continues the tradition of this great book by applying anatomic knowledge to state-of-the-art imaging. Chapters have been reorganized to help the reader better interpret imaging studies by clearly demonstrating what to expect and where to look for disease spread from each individual organ. Up-to-date chapters explore the dynamic concept, explain its embryologic and anatomic basis, and classify the mechanisms of disease progression. The latest imaging modalities, including CT, MRI, ultrasound, and PET, are incorporated throughout.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

A great book!
This book is very famous in the field of abdominal imaging and I want to buy the dynamic radiology of the abdomen for a long time.
But knowing the release of the new edition, I had to wait for the release.
My first surprise when I got the book was that the book was thin!
From the description on Amazon.com., this book has 800 pages but actually only 420 pages, which was shocking. And it's a little revolution because the 5th edition had around 800 pages.
Explanation of subperitoneal space and peritoneal space are given easy-to-understand way. Anatomical and embryological viewpoint is emphasized.
Personally I like the chapters of retroperitoneal space and internal abdominal hernias.
Most of the figures are good quality and focused on the topic.
I recommend this book to all guys involved in this field.

Great book! A must have for any practitioner who treats musculoskeletal injuries
Very well written and succinct. Thorough explanations of commonly seen musculoskeletal conditions and typical MOI for each. Also points out pertinent items for differential (love the "don't miss this" points under evaluation) and discusses evaluation techniques for each condition. Side bars add great points for learning. A plethora of images are perfect for the visual learner.
Would highly recommend you add this one to your references.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Very useful!
used it one week now as intern at the Neurosurgery department. Diseases include more than general information. The surgery-descriptions are clear, even if you have not seen it before. Pre-and post-operative care are added to the chapters. The anatomy-images are very useful and I used them a lot. The style this book is written in, combined with some humor make it a special handbook. Fun to read and informative too, an excellent combination!

Great
I live in Curitiba, Brazil, and my requested item arrived before the estimated date. It is on perfect conditions too. I recomend, thanks

An astonishing book for clinical neurologist
Being a clinical neurologist and not a neurosurgeon this book has a lot of tips in the field. A most have book in your library and for consultation especilly for trauma.

Bible of Neurosurgery
Dr Greenberg has again provided a comprehensive guide to neurosurgery for the neurosurgical resident. This handbook has deservedly earned the title of "Bible of Neurosurgery", and Dr Greenberg does not fail to deliver in this new edition. Well worth every penny. If you purchase only one neurosurgical text, this should be it.

Diagnostic pathology : Head and neck

簡介(Book Description from Barnes & Noble)：
Designed as an easy-to-use and comprehensive reference for the practicing pathologist, Diagnostic Pathology: Head and Neck is the highly anticipated title in the Diagnostic Pathology series offered by Amirsys. This book is a multiauthored, comprehensive overview of the pathology of head and neck essentials, including the thyroid and parathyroid glands. The Amirsys-pioneered bulleted text is easy to follow with detailed information per disease entity. As with our other Diagnostic Pathology titles, chapters include definitions, terminology, etiologies and pathogenesis, demographics, clinical presentations, therapy, prognoses, radiologic imaging, pathology, and differential diagnoses. The pathologic features are extensively detailed with descriptions of the macroscopic features, microscopic findings, cytopathology (as indicated), and as needed, ancillary studies. The latter include histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, molecular diagnostics and ultrastructural findings. Each entity is enhanced by superior medical images, including gross and microscopic pathology, a wide range of pathology stains, and detailed medical illustrations. In addition, you’ll find cancer staging and specimen examination protocols—one of the most useful hallmarks of the series—plus detailed immunohistochemistry panels. This state-of-the-art volume will guide the reader through the intricacies of head and neck pathology to provide the information required in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of head and neck pathology.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

LOVE this book!
This is my new favorite 'go to' book for head and neck pathology. It is a perfect combination of a pathology reference text and atlas. What I really like is the clear and concise, yet extremely thorough bullet style organization. Additionally, it is packed with great quality histology and clinical images. Tables comparing differential diagnoses and IHC stains are most helpful. This complete pathology text book is definitely worth the cost!!

The one and only H&N pathology book you will need
Excellent book.
Definitely worth the money.
Comprehensive, yet well organized with clean summaries
Tables with "key facts"makes it easy to review topics quickly
High quality images
Excellent for practicing Otolaryngologists & Pathologists
Good for ENT residents preparing for board examinations.

Comprehensive and beautifully packaged resource
Some pathology books are big on text and short on pictures, some are big on pictures, but short on text.
For me, I prefer salient points outlined textually, with as many pictures as are needed to highlight the pertinent issues, coupled together with diagnostically useful tables and charts. Drs. Thompson and Wenig (et. al.)'s voluminous creation does that with elan.
The illustrations run the gamut, including superbly chosen and exceptionally reproduced photomicrographs (H&E and relevant IHCs), pertinent clinical and gross photographs, diagnostically useful radiographs, CT scans, and MRI's, and beautifully rendered CAD anatomic diagrams. Tables and text boxes include trim and tidy "Key Facts" (which I love), to relevant immunohistochemical staining profiles, classification schemes (and their interfaces, when relevant), current staging information, prognostic categories, and CAP protocol data for malignancies.
The text is in a bulletized format - which I prefer. Category headings include; terminology, etiology, clinical issues, image findings, macroscopic features, microscopic pathology, ancillary tests, and differential diagnosis
(as appropriate).
I frequently meander between several texts when I try to figure out head and neck cases - this one textbook will, I suspect, supplant all the rest. For those pathologists and residents who appreciate slightly more than the
"standard" number of illustrations and bulletized lists of key diagnostic elements, this book is a must-have.
At $300.00+, it is a bit pricey - however, the exceptionally high production value is evident on every page.

A clear, beautiful illustrated deskside reference
In a world of progressively increasing costs for medical references, one needs to become selective about what books are worth your time and investment. This book is one I'd like to recommend as being worthy of both.
The book is an extremely thorough, almost encyclopedic reference on head and neck pathology. The subject matter is well organized. Each topic is covered in a pithy point-form manner, rather than with harder to read narratives, and it is easy to find the key clinical, microscopic and special studies needed to come to a precise diagnosis. Each topic is thoroughly illustrated with gross and microscopic photographs. The authors also offer excellent discussions of differential diagnosis. I've used the book to help work up a number of challenging cases and found it a fast and most useful aid.
If you need one good H&N pathology reference, this is the one that should be sitting beside your microscope.

The latest and greatest H&N pathology text (a must-have!)
This textbook is, without a doubt, the ONLY Head & Neck pathology resource you'll ever need.
I'm very familiar with this and other books in the Amirsys Diagnostic Pathology series and am convinced that these are the best books out there today, rivaling and even surpassing all other pathology textbooks -- including the "classics" (that virtually every first-year pathology resident buys out of a sense of obligation and/or fear of not learning what one's supposed to).
This book has multiple outstanding features:
(1) First, it is written in bulleted text that is easy to absorb. It is brief, clear, and easy-to-use. Every chapter includes a Key Facts box that nicely summarizes the entity, and is great for quick reference.
(2) At the same time, the book is exquisitely thorough, including relevant clinical information (presentation, therapy, prognosis), imaging findings, and ancillary studies (special stains, IHC, molecular), in addition to excellent gross and microscopic descriptions.
(3) Furthermore, the chapters include generous differential diagnoses that compare and contrast between entities in a practical fashion.
(4) A unique strength of the book is the plethora of images (>2000), showing variations of the same entity plus its differentials, with rich captions that aim to teach the highlights of the chapter.
(5) Moreover, using sophisticated graphics, many detailed anatomical images were created to illustrate complicated anatomy and help both the junior and practicing pathologist finally visualize some of the obscure landmarks casually mentioned (but not necessarily fully appreciated) in discussions and texts.
(6) It also includes up-to-date cancer staging forms and specimen examination protocols.
(7) Purchase of the book grants access to the corresponding eBook, which includes searchable content and updates.
With over 1000 pages, written by multiple experts, and great references, this encyclopedic text is really the only H&N book you'll need during training and even practice.
Moreover, I invite you to look into other Amirsys books, which are similarly exceptional.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Great book!
I've been waiting for a book like this that merges radiology and oncology. It's a much needed addition to other text books which mention radiographic findings of staging, but do not actually show what those findings look like. This a really awesome book - will make staging stick much better. Although the book is expensive, it is comprehensive and the photo quality is excellent.

Case-based interventional neuroradiology

簡介(Book Description from Barnes & Noble)：
Featuring comprehensive coverage of the latest developments and technology in the field, Case-Based Interventional Neuroradiology provides a thorough review of commonly encountered neurovascular diseases, as well as detailed background information on the rationale for each treatment choice.
Cases center on "real life" scenarios with high-quality images, and offer readers a concise, practical, and up-to-date approach to the diseases neurointerventionalists face. Each case describes the clinical presentation, the non-invasive imaging studies, and the treatment, including equipment used and a step-by-step description of the intervention. The authors then thoroughly discuss the case and provide background information on the disease, differential diagnoses, and a description of the non-invasive workup, including the physical exam and required imaging studies. A separate section in each case contains alternate treatment options — including medical, surgical, or radiosurgical treatment options — in order to broaden the reader's understanding of the benefits or disadvantages of treatments provided by related disciplines. Clinicians can rapidly refresh their knowledge on the success and complications rates of the different treatment options using the up-to-date literature review and a literature review featuring the latest references.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Good addition for trainees
Pros: Very easy to read, case based therefore good review for trainees prior to a case, very useful succinct literature review on important topics.
Cons: Very limited information on the basics of neuroangiography such as neurovascular anatomy, angiography techniques and instuments etc and no in-depth details/discussion of any topic.
In my view its a good addition for trainees, very limited use for an experienced interventionalist.

Unique book in interventional neuroradiology
This is definitely a fantastic book on Interventional Neuroradiology. Learning in this field involves a combination of technique knowledge with vascular disease knowledge, especially natural history and brings one up to difficult and specific management problems, to which the answer is not always on the literature. A real answer to those problems was was what impressed me the most in this book.
Its a unique book because it is case based, approaching in each case and for every theme, the different situations / problems one can face concerning that pathology. For each problem a schematic answer helps to organize your mind on how to approach those different situations, always with review of the current state of art, and the authors personal experience / opinion about the different options presented.
The cases are presented starting from clinical history with physical examination, differential diagnosis evolving to the detailed description of the material used, the treatment (with tips really helpful for your daily pratice). Then for each case there is a review of the available options (conservative, surgical, radiosurgical, endovascular....)with the pros and cons arguments for each option, ending with a critical review about the published literature on treatment options.
Details on specific problems regarding management, follow up and possible complications are also included, with important advices on how to avoid problems.
For everyone in this field, starting or with experience (or preparing for examination like me) this is a book definitely worth its value!

A must have!
For those in the field of interventional neuroradiology, a book like this has been long awaited. And it won't disappoint! Practical and sufficiently detailed for real world practice, this book contains valuable tips, tricks, and principles of best practice from a world-renowned group. The cases format allows for quick review of key points before starting a case. For trainees in neurology, neurosurgery, and radiology, this book is perfect for board examination review in cerebrovascular disease. Also ideal for those already in practice. An absolute must have!
