Transcranial Sonography in Movement Disorders

"This is the most comprehensive, current volume on transcranial sonography (TCS) in movement disorders. It is written by an experienced, international group of sonographers who present interpretations of recent research findings and provide recommendations about applying the technique. The volume features many demonstrative images to help explain ultrasound anatomy, the TCS technique, and typical findings in specific movement disorders. Exciting new applications are discussed including early and premotor diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and, the use of TCS for intra- and postoperative position control of deep brain stimulation electrodes. This volume gives insight into this rapidly developing and increasingly applied technique, emphasising the validity of the TCS method, the differential diagnostic capacity of the findings and its supplementary value to other neuroimaging techniques. This is an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers engaged with movement disorders."--Publisher's description.
