Overview

This atlas will provide a detailed overview of normal anatomy of the spine utilizing high-resolution, state-of-the-art images. All current modalities will be represented including MRI, CT, CT and MR myelography, perfusion and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), spinal CT and MR angiography, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), spectroscopy, and dynamic imaging. Plain films and fluoroscopic images will be included as well. Developmental anatomy, fetal MRI, and spinal anatomy of the newborn with ultrasound is also covered. Gross anatomical photographs of cadaveric specimens and correlative color drawings further enhance understanding of the complex spinal matrix and vasculature. Written by two neuroradiologists and an anatomist who are deeply involved in medical education, the goal is to offer an extensive multimodality atlas of manageable size to be used as a learning tool in the classroom or clinical reference at the workstation or in the office. The text is minimal; the hallmark of the book will be sharp, beautiful images with detailed anatomic labeling-many acquired with newly developed advanced techniques that allow visualization of structures not possible with routine imaging. According to Dr. Borden, the addition of these images will elevate a conventional anatomic spine atlas (of which there are several) to one at the cutting edge of technology-an atlas for the 21st century, which should have a long shelf life since anatomy doesn't change.

Author Information

Neil M. Borden, MD, Associate Professor of Radiology, Medical College of Georgia, Georgia Health Sciences University, Augusta, GA, USA. Dr. Borden is a neuroradiologist who trained in endovascular neurosurgery at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix and practiced at Penn and Cleveland Clinic prior to joining the faculty at Medical College of Georgia earlier this year to devote more time to teaching. I published his 3D Angiographic Atlas of Neurovascular Anatomy and Pathology at Cambridge, and worked with him on a pattern recognition neuroimaging handbook that will be released this fall.
