Product Description This state-of-the-art, two-volume set is a comprehensive account of the latest imaging techniques for both diagnosis and image-guided therapy for the many diseases of the nervous system. The book provides summary boxes and tables covering the classification of pathology, key features of the disorder, and differential diagnosis, as well as, essential color images. An accompanying CD-ROM provides the images from the text plus bonus images and cases in a convenient electronic format.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. Review "Overall, Drs. Latchaw, Kucharczyk, and Moseley have created a comprehensive and innovative book on the diagnosis and treatment of the nervous system. Its integration of radiology, physics, physiology, and clinical medicine is a refreshing and unique approach on the subject. The book provides the reader state-of-the-art techniques and crisp images. Radiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and physicists conducting nervous system research would very likely find this book extraordinarily useful." --American Journal of Neuroradiology"This new two-volume work by Latchaw and colleagues is the most current and complete neuroimaging reference text I have seen to date. The extensive list of contributors is impressive; their vast expertise in diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology, neurology, and neurosurgery has been combined to produce a unique, highly informative, and timely text....This is a very ambitious work. Imaging of the Nervous System is one of the few neuroradiology texts that successfully combine current concepts in diagnostic imaging and interpretation with therapeutic options and techniques." --AuntMinnie.com Review Examines both the peripheral and central nervous systems About the Author Richard Latchaw, MD, Professor of Radiology and Neurological Surgery, Chief of Neuroradiology, University of California-Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA; John Kucharczyk, PhD, Professor of Radiology and Neurosurgery, Medical School, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN; and Michael E.
