Book description
This book provides the essential information needed for formulating
findings in CT of the head and spine. The book is conceived as a highly
practical guide for use in routine CT diagnosis, as well as in critical
on-call emergency situations. The features:- Condenses information to
the core questions of the diagnostic problem at hand without
oversimplifying: What does the clinician want to know? What must be
included in the findings, and what differential diagnosis must be
excluded?- Clear and didactic organization of information in
pathogenesis, clinical findings, and CT morphology- Convenient
summaries, offset by a second color, provide information to be used
during the CT examination that assure that nothing will be overlooked-
Detailed descriptions of normal anatomy with normal values help to
differentiate pathologic from normal findings. "A nice review of
the basic clinical and technical aspects of CT...very helpful to the

lesions that most have never seen. The references are well categorized
and each entry helpfully includes a sentence that describes the
article's main point or value. This feature alone makes the book worth
buying...This is a superb book. I cannot give it enough accolades for
how well it is written, organized and for the quality of its contents.

efforts." --Clinical Imaging_x000D_ _x000D_ "To say that the

library." --Acta Radiologica, 09/2002_x000D_ _x000D_ "A
