Diagnostic Imaging: Brain
Diagnostic Imaging: Brain, Second Edition. Anne G. Osborn, Karen L. Salzman, A. James Barkovich, (Authors). Amirsys 2009, pages 1200, 3500 illustrations, $339.00.
Success follows success — that in one phrase is the best way to summarize the enormous contribution made by Dr. Osborn and her colleagues to the knowledge base of radiologists and clinicians in the neurosciences.

AJNR Tops List of “Most Read” in mdlinx.com
This week, the most read article in www.mdlinx.com comes from AJNR. This is very nice review article written by our colleagues from Boston Children’s Hospital. What I find very satisfying is that this article has not yet appeared in print and comes from our publication preview section. This is an indication that the electronic journal is becoming more and more popular. The reference is as follows:
