Imaging of the Nervous System: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications (2volume set)

With an emphasis on both diagnostic and therapeutic applications, this multidisciplinary, 2-volume set presents today's state-of-the-art, high-tech developments in neuroradiology. It examines MRI, CT, PET, SPECT, all forms of angiography and the use of perfusion/diffusion and metabolic imaging techniques for both the diagnosis and therapy of the many diseases affecting both the central and peripheral nervous systems.

• Examines both the peripheral and central nervous systems―coverage not found in other texts.
  
• Integrates recent research discoveries, both clinical and basic science, with clinical utilization.
  
• Offers material on disorders of neural development, behavior and cognition.
  
• Discusses traditional imaging topics, plus new diseases such as those affecting neural development, cognition, and behavior.
  
• Features the work of a multidisciplinary team of contributors, including neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroanatomists, physiologists, and physicists.
  
• Includes a CD-ROM that features all the images from the 2-volume set and test cases related to each chapter of the text.
  
• Presents the hot topics in today's practice, including a chapter on neurobehavioral disorders.
  
• Chapter 10, A Functional Atlas of Brain Vascular Territories is a four-color presentation of illustrations and color-coded text.
