Overview

This is the third edition of Magnetic Resonance of Myelination and Myelin Disorders, a standard text in the field. The book has been extensively revised and expanded to do justice to the rapid advances in MR technology, molecular biochemistry, and genetics and the discovery of new disease entities with prominent white matter involvement. Forty chapters have been added, and the number of illustrations has risen considerably. The ability to confirm the presence of genetic alterations in a number of disorders allows more advantageous presentation of the phenotypic variation as expressed in different MR patterns. Wider coverage is given to white matter disorders, hereditary and acquired, in the adult population.

Reviews

From the reviews of the third edition: <p> This book provides a comprehensive, lucid description of particularly challenging clinical entities. With the third edition, the authors have greatly broadened an excellent reference; I would recommend this book for any practicing radiologist faced with challenging MR examinations of the adult or pediatric brain. (Doody's Publisher's Club; Reviewer: Edward H. Herskovits, University of Pennsylvania Medical Center). <p> What a fabulous book! a ] The contents describe in great depth all white matter disorders known today, both adult and paediatric, both inherited and acquired. a ] This is most definitely a reference book a a terrific reference book. a ] It is highly recommended a a must for neuroradiology/neurology, both adult and paediatric. Both departments are incomplete without it. I have never so strongly endorsed the purchase of a book. I am both grateful and delighted to have had the opportunity to review it.
