Her comprehensive teaching textbook, 'Diagnostic Neuroradiology', won the 1995 American Publishers Association award as the Best Textbook in Clinical Medicine. Her other texts have been equally acclaimed. They include 'Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography', the bestseller 'Diagnostic Imaging: Brain' and 'Diagnostic and Surgical Imaging Anatomy: Brain, Spine, Head and Neck', which received First Prize in the 2007 British Medical Association’s annual Medical Book Competition.
Professor Osborn was cited as one of the '20 Most Influential' people in radiology by Diagnostic Imaging in its November 2002 issue, and was also subsequently profiled in the widely-read trade publication as one of four innovative educators inspiring a generation of radiologists to excel in research, clinical skill, and leadership.
She has published over 20 books and more than 120 scientific articles. She is editor-in-chief of the Yearbook of Diagnostic Radiology. She has given over 110 invited lectures all over the world including China, Japan, Korea, Australia, India, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia. Finally, she has served as Visiting Professor at many of the world’s premier medical institutions including Harvard, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins Universities and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
Her achievements have earned her the Gold Medal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), where she served as First Vice-President and Chair of the Research and Education Foundation Board of Trustees.
