Overview

Written by recognized experts, this volume is a comprehensive reference on the use of advanced imaging techniques in the diagnosis and management of spinal trauma. In one cohesive source, the book brings together information on state-of-the-art clinical imaging - including multidetector CT and high-field MRI techniques - and the pathophysiology, neurologic evaluation, medical management, surgical treatment, and postoperative assessment of spine trauma and spinal cord injury. Also included are cutting-edge reviews of experimental imaging techniques and their applications and experimental therapies such as neurotransplantation. More than 700 illustrations - including 180 in full color - complement the text.

Reviews

American Journal of Neuroradiology, 25-JAN-08 -- The quick word of this very new spinal text is easy-it is a nicely done and atypically organized reference book, with very good CT scans and MR images, which goes a few extra yards in educating the interested reader in surgical jargon and techniques and also covers some experimental techniques on the horizon. This has become a very important reference for me, filling a relative void in my library...Overall, this book is a welcome addition to the existing spinal imaging texts and will be a useful reference addition to any reading room where complicated spine cases are reviewed. -American Journal of Neuroradiology
