"A comprehensive and innovative book on the diagnosis and treatment of the nervous system."
Product 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
Customer Reviews & Comments
After 4 years of waiting, this large 2 volume neuroimaging text arrived at my door, with my chapter in it. Noting that I have author bias, I would actually rate the book higher than 4 stars, but only gave it a 4 (I am saving 5 for a yet unpublished masterwork in imaging). So, introductory chapters on imaging methods includes standard MRI and CT physics: Principles of Image Formation 3 (46) Magnetic Resonance Imaging Principles and Techniques 3 (28) Impact of Computed Tomography Advances on Clinical Neuroimaging 31 (18) Techniques of Functional Imaging 49 (76) Overview of Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain: Current Status and Future Challenges 49 (10) Functional Imaging with Positron Emission Tomography and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography 59 (30) Mapping Brain Function with Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging 89 (12) Magnetoencephalography and Magnetic Source Imaging 101 (24) Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy 125 (16) Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Intracranial Disease 125 (16) These are actually pretty well written introductory and more chapters on complex, cutting edge topics. To learn something about functional mri, you could buy an introductory text or the huge brain mapping tomes (tioga et al.) but wouldn't get the full spectrum of neuroimaging. Head and Neck is lumped together in a large pair of chapters, and orbital imaging is separate, and the chapters on neurointervention are quite comprehensive, if not daunting. The only criticism i have so far is the eye strain induced by the anatomy chapter on cerebrovascular territories that tries "too hard" graphically, to include cortical anatomy labels with arterial maps, etc. The information is relatively perfect, but hard to look at. This is a beautiful reference volume and is written in the typical prose style of multivolume texts; don't expect the short summary style of Osborne's new Amirsys textbook on brain imaging. A nice touch by Dr. LAtchaw et al. was including summary points, differential boxes, and pearls. These boxes nicely punctuate the text and make for easy reading. The editing - from my experience - was superb, ignoring a few minor typographical errors here and there. This book is a nice addition to your library (and no, I don't get a dime for it). Oh, and since my chapter took a severe editorial shredding many times over 2+ years until I "got it right," I can finally say it came out rather well. Did I mention that many images in the text are incredible? The majority of chapters will delight you with some really beautiful current imaging depictions of pathology.
