Most imaging books are ordered according to underlying etiology.
However, in real life clinical practice, radiologists usually make
their differential diagnoses according to the image patterns, as the
etiology is often unknown. Brain Imaging with MRI and CT presents over
180 disease processes and normal variants, grouping entities by these
basic patterns to accentuate differential diagnostic features. High
quality CT and MRI scans show multiple typical and distinguishing
images for each entity. Common and unusual clinical scenarios are
described, including dilated perivascular spaces, capillary
teleangiectasia, Susac's syndrome and desmoplastic infantile
ganglioglioma. Both basic and advanced imaging techniques are used,
reflecting the reality of clinical practice. This image-focused book
emphasises the most pertinent clinical information relevant to the
diagnostic process. Trainee and practising radiologists will find Brain
Imaging with MRI and CT an invaluable and clinically relevant tool for
learning and teaching.
