For more than 25 years, Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain and Spine has been the leading textbook on imaging diagnosis of brain and spine disorders. The Fifth Edition continues this tradition of excellence with thorough coverage of recent trends and changes in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CNS diseases, and how those changes relate to MRI findings. It remains a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference for all who have an interest in neuroradiology - trainees to experts in the field, basic science researchers, and clinicians. Key Features: - Shows how to generate state-of-the-art images and define diagnoses
from crucial clinical/pathologic MR imaging correlations for
neurologic, neurosurgical, and psychiatric diseases spanning fetal CNS
anomalies to disorders of the aging brain. - Explains new imaging methodology (hardware- and software-based) in a
variety of clinical settings. - Discusses emerging, clinically relevant research in well-established
neurologic disorders such as stroke and brain tumors, as well as
developing clinical applications in non-traditional areas, including
neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders and fetal anomalies. - Analyzes the detail of clinically important imaging findings; defines
the role of MRI findings in the clinical setting of neurologic
disease; illustrates the pathologic basis for MRI findings; and
explores the use of emerging MRI methods as new contributions to
diagnosis and treatment. - Emphasizes that the diagnosis of neurologic disease must still be
grounded in evidence and based on the known - neuropathology,
genetics, clinical history, and proven imaging findings - rather than
on new techniques often used solely because they are novel. - Presents the combined knowledge and expertise of renowned
neuroradiologists, innovative MRI physicists, and experienced leading
clinical neurospecialists from all over the world.
