Cranial neuroimaging and clinical neuroanatomy : atlas of MIR imaging and computed tomography

Written by experts in the field, this beautifully illustrated text/atlas provides the tools you need to directly visualize and interpret cranial CT and MR images. It reviews with exacting detail the normal anatomic brain structures identified on sagittal, coronal, and axial imaging planes. Use this book to make accurate and complete neurological assessments at the earliest possible stages - before reaching the sectioning or operating table. This revised and expanded third edition contains nearly 600 illustrations - most in color - that provide graphic representations of brain structures, arteries, arterial territories, veins, nerves and neurofunctional systems. The illustrations depict anatomic structures in shades of gray similar to the way they are seen in CT and MR images. Highlights of the third edition: * Content and illustrations expanded by more than 20% * High resolution T1 and T2 weighted MR images * Improved anatomic terminology for more accurate descriptions of findings Clinically relevant, easily readable, and clearly organized, this well-illustrated book is an essential introduction to the field for medical students and residents in neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology, and radiology. Practicing specialists will also benefit from this practical day-to-day tool.

this Book Is Designed As A Practical Tool. The Illustrations Of The Neurofunctional Systems As They Are Localized In The Tomographic Planes Are Meant To Orient The Reader As To Their Localization In Ct, Mr And Pet Images. They Also Make It Possible To Extrapolate The Clinical Symptoms Which Correlate To The Pathological Ct And Mr Findings.

this Book Provides A Topographical Description Of Ct Scan And Mri Three-dimensional Imaging, With Little Emphasis On Functional Neuroanatomy And Neurochemistry. The Purpose Of The Book Is To Provide Illustrative Neuroimaging With Correlative Neuroanatomical And Functional Sections. It Is Difficult To Understand Three-dimensional Views Because Some Sections Are Done In A Separate And Simple Way. In Addition There Are Illustrations On Pet And Neurotransmitters. The Book Is Written For In-training Personnel In The Fields Of Neurology, Neurosurgery And Neuroradiology. In Addition, Interested Medical Students And Others May Benefit. The Illustrations Are Self-explanatory And Are Of Good Quality To Fulfill The Purpose Of The Book. The References, Index, And Table Of Contents Are Well Organized. The Book Is Attractive, Includes Many Colored Figures, And Is Easy To Read. The Book Provides A Handy, Well-illustrated Review Of Anatomical And Functional Imaging Of The Cranium. This Second Edition Is Needed To Include The Recent Advances In Imaging Technology. Learning This Material Supplies The Essential Basic Information To Interested Personnel In The Neuroscience Field.

This book provides the tools needed to directly visualize and interpret cranial CT and MR images. It reviews in detail the normal anatomic brain structures identified on sagittal, coronal, and axial imaging planes, and should be helpful in making accurate and complete neurological assessments at the earliest possible stages -before reaching the sectioning or operating table. This revised and expanded third edition contains nearly 600 illustrations - most in color - that provide graphic representations of brain structures, arteries, arterial territories, veins, nerves and neurofunctional systems. The illustrations depict anatomic structures in shades of gray similar to the way they are seen in CT and MR images In the ten years since publication of the second edition, the diagnostic information provided by new imaging methods (CT, MRI, PET, US) has improved significantly. ..
