Neuroimaging: Clinical and Physical Principles sets a new standard in neuroradiology texts, offering comprehensive coverage of all imaging modalities used in modern neuroimaging. It includes detailed discussions on MR techniques, including fast MR, MRA, and FLAIR, as well as CT, ultrasonography, angiography, plain film, and myelography. The book addresses topics often overlooked in standard texts, such as imaging of the head, neck, temporal bone, orbit, and sinuses; normal variants; pediatric neurologic diseases; trauma imaging; interventional techniques; and sedation for both adults and children. Additionally, it thoroughly explores the physical principles underlying Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, with ten chapters covering essential knowledge for radiologists, including MR and CT basics, contrast agents, hardware and safety, image acquisition, and artifacts. Each chapter is designed for quick reference to clinical problems, featuring tables and lists that summarize imaging protocols and differential diagnoses. The text provides an in-depth review of state-of-the-art neuroimaging procedures, highlighting potential findings for various conditions and guiding readers to the most effective imaging techniques for informative results.
