Duvernoy's Atlas of the Human Brain Stem and Cerebellum : High-Field MRI, Surface Anatomy, Internal Structure, Vascularization and 3 D Sectional Anatomy

Explains how to read advanced MRI easily by precise correlation of clinical 3T MRI with 2-4 mm thick sections of the brainIncludes more than a thousand images displaying nuclear anatomy, fiber tractography, and vascularization of the brain stem and cerebellum in axial, coronal, and sagittal planesPresents organized series of diagrams and images to teach with a minimum of textPrepares you for coming advances in technology with 9.4 T images of the brain stem that rival light microscopyAdvanced MRI requires advanced knowledge of anatomy. This volume correlates thin-section brain anatomy with corresponding clinical 3 T MR images in axial, coronal and sagittal planes to demonstrate the anatomic bases for advanced MR imaging. It specifically correlates advanced neuromelanin imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging, and diffusion tensor tractography with clinical 3 and 4 T MRI to illustrate the precise nuclear and fiber tract anatomy imaged by these techniques. Each region of the brain stem is then analyzed with 9.4 T MRI to show the anatomy of the medulla, pons, midbrain, and portions of the diencephalonin with an in-plane resolution comparable to myelin- and Nissl-stained light microscopy (40-60 microns). The volume is carefully organized as a teaching text, using concise drawings and beautiful anatomic/MRI images to present the information in sequentially finer detail, so the reader easily assimilates the relationships among the structures shown by high-field MRI.

The authors correlate advanced neuromelanin imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging, and diffusion tensor tractography with clinical 3 and 4 T MRI. Each brain stem region is then analyzed with 9.4 T MRI to show the anatomy of the medulla, pons, midbrain, and portions of the diencephalonin with an in-plane resolution comparable to myelin- and Nissl-stained light microscopy. The book’s carefully organized diagrams and images teach with a minimum of text. This atlas correlates thin-section brain anatomy with clinical magnetic resonance images in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. You'll learn to easily read advanced MRI by precise correlation of clinical 3T MRI with 2-4 mm thick brain sections. Book by Naidich, Thomas P., Duvernoy, Henri M., Delman, Bradley N., Sorensen, A.
