Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of the Brain

Diffusion-weighted MR imaging is widely accepted as a means to identify stroke, thus enabling rapid and effective treatment. Over the past four years, these expert authors have presented over 30 exhibits and scientific reports on diffusion-weighted imaging at the RSNA and the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR), and more than 10 of these presentations have been recognized by specific awards. Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of the Brain’s chapters range from basic principles to interpretation of diffusion-weighted MR imaging and specific disease. This is a valuable reference for radiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons as well as residents, fellows, radiology technologists.

From the reviews:

"This book shows that the use of diffusion-weighted MRI is far more extensive. Written by a group from the University of Rochester ... it provides a pictorial guide to the role of diffusion weighted imaging in neurological disease. ... Overall this is a useful reference to those using diffusion weighted imaging. It will be essential reference for neuroradiologists who are getting to grips with this technique for its emerging use in other neurological disorders."
