Learning Neuroimaging 100 Essential Cases [Paperback]

This book is intended as an introduction to neuroradiology and aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of this highly specialized radiological subspecialty. One hundred illustrated cases from clinical practice are presented in a standard way.? Each case is supported by representative images and is divided into three parts: a brief summary of the patients medical history, a discussion of the disease, and a description of the most characteristic imaging features of the disorder. The focus is not only on common neuroradiological entities such as stroke and acute head trauma but also on less frequent disorders that the practitioner should recognize. Learning Neuroimaging: 100 Essential Cases is an ideal resource for neuroradiology and radiology residents, neurology residents, neurosurgery residents, nurses, radiology technicians, and medical students.

The neuroradiologist requires special training and skills to function as an expert diagnostic and therapeutic consultant and practitioner. This text, with a wealth of case studies from clinical practice, is an ideal introduction to this radiological specialty.

From the reviews:

This easily readable book provides an excellent overview of neuroimaging. Radiology residents would probably find this book to be most useful during a second or third neuroradiology rotation. The text would also be an accessible introduction to the depth and breadth of the subspecialty for medical students on neuroradiology rotations. Finally, the book might serve as a nice review to practicing radiologists wishing to quickly brush up on neuroradiology. (Frank Berkowitz, Radiology, Vol. 265 (1), October, 2012)
