This full-color atlas offers detailed illustrations and instructive text on some of the latest procedures for diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The book opens with introductory and background information and then covers the pathogenesis of MS involving alteration of the blood-brain barrier. The section on diagnosis covers IgG and oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid; evoked potential studies, including visual, brainstem auditory, and somatosensory; MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), including MRI differential diagnosis involving ADEM, MDEM, Lyme disease, and HTLV-I spastic paraparesis; and PET (positron emission tomography) and SPECT (single photon emission tomography). Concluding sections cover the gross, microscopic, and electronmicroscopic pathology of MS and the visual system in MS, involving optic and retrobulbar neuritis; fundoscopy, and visual fields.

Excellent visual reference to MS,

This review is from: An Atlas of Multiple Sclerosis (Hardcover)
Dr. Charles Posner of Harvard Medical School has done a lot for the science of MS research, and pioneered the systematic diagnosis of the disease prior to the use of the MRI for diagnosis. In An Atlas of Multiple Sclerosis, he has made use of the latest in imaging techniques to give a visual guide to the disease and its action in the brain. He combines numerous full-color images with clear and easy explanations of the disease and the various tests that may be used to diagnose and monitor the progress of multiple sclerosis. An excellent visual guide for both patients and doctors.
