Overview
Multidetector Computed Tomography in Cerebrovascular Disease: CT Perfusion Imaging focuses on anatomy and procedural strategy for perfusion CT imaging in clinical neurology and cerebrovascular disease. This text-atlas combines pictures and schematic diagrams to show how this new modality can be used to assess anatomy and guide therapeutic interventions. Beginning with an introductory section discussing the state of the art and background support (including software) related to the technique, the book then reviews applications in managing stroke, thrombosis and tumors. It concludes with a section that evaluates the utility of perfusion CT in comparison with other modalities such as MRI. A comprehensive introduction to further clinical applications of a newly established technology, this volume demonstrates the utility of the technique and covers all relevant theory necessary for its implementation.

Reviews
The book has been written by some of the most knowledgable people in the field of CT perfusion, and this applies to every chapter. Many of the authors are prolific in the cerebral CT perfusion literature. [ ] This has been written by people who know the pitfalls of the technique, and is highly relevant to the practical use of the technique. Overall, the book is well written and highly relevant. It is relatively short and easy to read, and is very good value for its price. It will be found useful by people just starting to use CT perfusion, including physicians, radiologists and radiographers. Clinical Radiology (2007) 62, 1232
