Book description
Written by experts in the field, this beautifully illustrated
text/atlas provides the tools you need to directly visualize and
interpret cranial CT and MR images. It reviews with exacting detail the
normal anatomic brain structures identified on sagittal, coronal, and
axial imaging planes. Use this book to make accurate and complete
neurological assessments at the earliest possible stages - before
reaching the sectioning or operating table. This revised and expanded
third edition contains nearly 600 illustrations - most in color - that
provide graphic representations of brain structures, arteries, arterial
territories, veins, nerves and neurofunctional systems. The
illustrations depict anatomic structures in shades of gray similar to
the way they are seen in CT and MR images. Highlights of the third
edition:- Content and illustrations expanded by more than 20%- High
resolution T1 and T2 weighted MR images- Improved anatomic terminology
for more accurate descriptions of findingsClinically relevant, easily
readable, and clearly organized, this well-illustrated book is an
essential introduction to the field for medical students and residents
in neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology, and radiology. Practicing
specialists will also benefit from this practical day-to-day tool. ''A
richly illustrated state-of-the-art work in neuroanatomy...a practical
and instructive diagnostic tool.'' -- Surgical and Radiologic
Anatomy_x000D_ _x000D_ Praise of earlier editions:_x000D_ ''. . .the
authors are to be commended for providing such a large amount of
information in such a clearly organized and well-illustrated fashion. I
highly recommend this book to all radiologists who interpret
cross-sectional images of the brain.'' --American Journal of
Neuroradiology_x000D_ _x000D_ ''This creatively-illustrated atlas and
text. . .is full of useful material and would be an excellent addition
to a neuroradiology library.'' --Radiology_x000D_ _x000D_ ''An excellent
textbook of practical anatomy. . .a valuable reference for studying
neuroanatomy. . .this text should be found in department libraries in
these fields [of radiology, neuroradiology, neurology, and
neurosurgery]. . .This beautifully drawn text is an excellent
introduction of multiplanar neuroanatomy.'' --American Journal of
