Book Description

Publication Date: October 1992

In the six years since the publication of the first edition, the diagnosis information provided by new imaging methods (CT, MRI, PET, US) has improved drastically. Clinicians and specialists must master three-dimensional neuroanatomy of the head in order to localize and interpret pathological symptoms. As in the first edition, the drawings presented here depict anatomic structures in shades of grey similar to the way they are seen in CT and MR images. All drawings of the atlas portion of the book have been made from cadaver sections. This book is designed as a practical tool. The illustrations of the neurofunctional systems as they are localized in the tomographic planes are meant to orient the reader as to their localization in CT, MR and PET images. They also make it possible to extrapolate the clinical symptoms which correlate to the pathological CT and MR findings.
