Book description
Praise for this book:
This book is highly recommended and should find its way onto the
library shelf of every neuroradiology section.--American
Journal of Neuroradiology
Authoritative and lavishly illustrated, this best-selling reference
returns in a fourth edition with comprehensive coverage of the current
imaging strategies for the evaluation of disease processes affecting the
temporal bone and its intricate anatomy. New in this edition is a highly
practical how-to chapter that presents imaging modalities and technical
parameters for CT and MRI as well as an overview of the role of plain
film radiography, ultrasound, PET, and PET/CT. The chapter then
addresses major clinical indications, providing step-by-step
descriptions of how to protocol each case, how to interpret the studies,
and how to report findings. The remaining chapters thoroughly cover
specific anatomic areas of the temporal bone separately. Each chapter
places special emphasis on gaining a solid foundation of the normal
anatomy and anatomic variations. It then discusses imaging protocols and
image evaluation for specific clinical problems. Highlights:
Practical discussion of standard techniques, protocols, and special
considerations for imaging using CT and MRI
In-depth coverage of both common and rare conditions
Clinical insights from international authorities in the field
More than 1,500 high-quality illustrations and images, including CT,
MRI, and vascular images using CTA, MRA, and conventional catheter angiography
This book is an essential reference for a multidisciplinary approach to
assessing diseases affecting the temporal bone. It is an ideal resource
for all radiologists, neuroradiologists, head and neck radiologists, and
residents in these specialties. It is also valuable for
otolaryngologists, otologists, and head and neck surgeons.
"Comprehensive coverage of the current imaging strategies for the
evaluation of disease processes affecting the temporal bone." --
The Neuroradiology Journal_x000D_ _x000D_ "The latest edition of
one of the great landmark treatises in neuroradiology...a reference
textbook that should be part of any radiologist's library...has been
extensively rewritten...the illustrations have been extensively updated,
including cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, and painstakingly labeled CT
and MRI images...useful...improves on the previous
masterpiece."--American Journal of Roentgenology_x000D_ _x000D_
"[The authors] have expanded the next by nearly 100 pages...and, in
doing so, have been able to incorporate more images and increasingly
important details in the text...an in-depth evaluation...This book is
highly recommended and should find its way onto the library shelf of
every neuroradiology section. For those who interpret many temporal bone
studies, a personal copy is warranted."--American Journal of
Neuroradiology_x000D_ _x000D_ "A satisfying resource. This new
edition contain exceptional imaging techniques, reporting information,
and, most of all, elaborately illustrated anatomical images accompanied
by examples of real CT and MR scans. Its attention to protocol detail
and depiction of anatomy distinguish the book from many similarly themed
texts...With the amount of concise and comprehensive information
contained in the fourth edition, this book is surprisingly easy to read
and understand. This valuable teaching and resource tool would be
well-received in any reading room."--Advance for Imaging &
Radiation Oncology_x000D_ _x000D_ "A concise textbook...the text is
very well organized, well focused, and, as one would expect with any
imaging text, replete with exemplary images thoroughly covering...this
complex anatomic region. Beginning with the table of contents, one sees
that the text is efficiently organized to take readers into the subject
matter starting laterally at the external auditory canal and ending
medially at the internal auditory canal and nearby intracranial
contents...strongly recommend[ed]."--Otology &
Neurotology_x000D_ _x000D_ "A comprehensive textbook...A great deal
of attention has been placed on providing thorough details in charts,
images and drawings. The information flows well, which makes it easier
to understand...The strong points of this textbook are the in-depth
information and organization...an extensive and detailed study of the
temporal bone."--Radiologic Technology_x000D_ _x000D_
"Extensively revised to demonstrate a decade's advances in imaging.
This text remains more than a simple atlas, although, being lavishly
illustrated with over 1,500 images, an atlas it undoubtedly is. The
content is well updated...Very thought provoking but extremely
complex...essential in any ENT department aspiring to train: it
represents excellent value."--The Journal of Laryngology &
Otology_x000D_ _x000D_ Praise for previous editions:
_x000D_ _x000D_ "The writing is lucid, illustrations are superb and
detailed, and line drawings are excellent...This book is a
necessity..." --Radiology_x000D_ _x000D_ "A valuable resource
for radiology residents, fellows and practicing radiologists...The
authors have done an excellent job of compiling MR images that show
typical disease process...A high-quality product." --American
Journal of Roentgenology_x000D_ _x000D_
"Excellent...well-written...This text should be read cover-to-cover
by all trainees and practicing neuroradiologists. Moreover, it should be
readily available in every department's library."--American Journal
of Neuroradiology_x000D_ _x000D_ "Comprehensive, well-written,
well-illustrated...Otologists, lateral skull base surgeons, and
radiologists should find this text to be a valuable addition to their
reference collection."--Head and Neck President, Germantown
