Neuroradiology

This introductory textbook contains contributions from 48 young neuroradiologists on CT and MRI technology. The focus is on the methods of radiologic diagnosis (including normal anatomy) as well as the various disease categories with their radiologic manifestations and differential diagnoses. Craniocerebral and spinal neurointerventions are also discussed at length. The text is accompanied throughout by b&w photographs of CT and MRI scans. The volume is a translation (by T. Telger) of the second revised and expanded edition of Neuroradiologie, first published in Germany in 1996.
