Overview

A descriptive and pictorial overview of MRI in pathologic processes affecting the skull and brain is provided in this comprehensive text-atlas which includes correlative information on neuropathology, neurology and traditional radiology. The topic is treated by first giving a brief introduction on fundamental physics and chemistry; this is followed by a review of principles of examination and interpretation and normal functional anatomy. The major, clinical part of the book discusses the various disease categories entity by entity: developmental anomalies, mechanical trauma, tumours and related conditions, vascular diseases, infections and inflammations, demyelinating and degenerative diseases and miscellaneous conditions. Reference to other imaging modalities and their relative merits in a given clinical situation is made consistently. With each pathologic entity, the clinico-morphologic presentation is thoroughly discussed based on a vast amount of material (more than 20,000 cases) compiled at two major university institutions in the United States and Germany. The advantage of drawing on eight years of experience with MRI stands out clearly for readers of this clnically oriented, practical book.
