Magnetic Resonance Neuroimaging is a comprehensive volume that focuses on the newest fields of MRI from functional and metabolic mapping to the latest applications of neuro-interventional techniques. Each chapter offers critical discussions regarding available methods and the most recent advances in neuroimaging, including such topics as the use of diffusion and perfusion MRI in the early detection of stroke, the revolutionary advent of high-speed MRI for non-invasively mapping cortical responses to task activation paradigms, and the principles and applications of contrast agents. The chapters also discuss how these new advances are applied to problems in patients ranging in age from the newborn to the elderly, as well as disease states ranging from metabolic encephalopathy to cardiovascular disorders and stroke. Magnetic Resonance Neuroimaging will be a valuable text/reference for residents, research fellows, and clinicians in radiology, neuroradiology, and magnetic resonance imaging.

<i>A valuable addition to any residency library...highly recommended for the student of neuroradiology preparing for the boards or the CAQ...provides an excellent overview of brain imaging...useful for self-testing...-American Journal of Roentgenology</i> Written by the renowned neuroradiologists at UCSF, this new teaching atlas contains more than 200 cases and 1,000 radiographs illustrating a wide range of diseases and problems in CNS imaging. Each case provides clinical history, images, and a list of differential diagnoses in a format that is tailored for self-testing or quick review. Cases cover valuable teaching points for daily practice from the straightforward to the advanced - offering a challenge to practitioners and residents alike. You'll find a focus on real-life clinical problems, including neoplasms, infections, dural and leptomeningeal processes, white matter disease, trauma, congenital malformations, phakomatoses, and cranial neuropathies. Pearls and pitfalls from the authors target important points and sources of error in image interpretation.<ul>
<li>Covers pathology, diagnosis, clinical findings, treatment, complications, and prognosis </li>
<li>Differential diagnoses are thoroughly covered, highlighting similar clinical presentations </li>
<li>User-friendly format makes it ideal as a clinical reference or review book </li>
<li>More than 1,000 large radiographs crystallize disease entities </li>
<li>Reviews of current literature, with short lists of recommended reading</li>
</ul>Teaching Atlas of Brain Imaging is useful at several levels: for residents or fellows preparing for board examinations and rotating through the sub-specialty; for fellows and practitioners looking for help in passing the Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) in neuroradiology; and for general radiologists who will find it to be an excellent text for quick and easy reference in daily practice.

Thoroughly updated and substantially expanded, the Third Edition of this acclaimed reference covers the full range of pediatric diseases diagnosable by modern neuroimaging. Coverage ranges from normal development to diseases and anomalies of the pediatric nervous system. Most chapters include new diseases, as well as updates on entities previously described.This edition provides expanded coverage of the head and neck and significantly more information on inborn errors of metabolism. The chapter on normal development of the neonatal and infant brain, skull, and spine has been expanded to include fetal brain MRI. This edition also includes new concepts on hypoxic-ischemic brain injury and malformations of cerebral cortical development.To facilitate fast, easy reference, this edition includes a "List of Disorders," which lists the conditions discussed in each chapter and their corresponding page numbers. This new feature enables readers to quickly look up a disorder and is particularly helpful when a reader is unsure of the name of an entity.
