Imaging of the Nervous System: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications (2volume set)

With an emphasis on both diagnostic and therapeutic applications, this multidisciplinary, 2-volume set presents today's state-of-the-art, high-tech developments in neuroradiology. It examines MRI, CT, PET, SPECT, all forms of angiography and the use of perfusion/diffusion and metabolic imaging techniques for both the diagnosis and therapy of the many diseases affecting both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Examines both the peripheral and central nervous systems―coverage not found in other texts. Integrates recent research discoveries, both clinical and basic science, with clinical utilization. Offers material on disorders of neural development, behavior and cognition. Discusses traditional imaging topics, plus new diseases such as those affecting neural development, cognition, and behavior. Features the work of a multidisciplinary team of contributors, including neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroanatomists, physiologists, and physicists. Includes a CD-ROM that features all the images from the 2-volume set and test cases related to each chapter of the text. Presents the hot topics in today's practice, including a chapter on neurobehavioral disorders. Chapter 10, A Functional Atlas of Brain Vascular Territories is a four-color presentation of illustrations and color-coded text.
