Book Description

ISBN-10: 0881678635 | ISBN-13: 978-0881678635 | Publication Date: January 1992 | Edition: Rev Sub

Illustrated with more than 2,300 high-quality scans, and written by more than sixty of the world's foremost neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, anatomists, and orthopedists, this volume offers definitive guidance on the use of CT, CT-myelography, MRI, angiography, and ultrasound for the evaluation and management of spinal disorders. The book provides complete instruction on examination techniques, describes and illustrates both normal and pathologic findings, shows how to distinguish normal variants from abnormalities, and fully explains the pitfalls encountered in image interpretation. For each specific spinal disorder, the text provides all pertinent clinical and technical information, including anatomy, pathophysiology, selection of appropriate protocol, patient positioning, imaging technique, pulse sequences, artifacts, and diagnostic guidelines. Close attention is given to the choice of imaging techniques for the evaluation of specific disorders. Coverage also includes intraoperative ultrasound, imaging of postoperative complications, and interventional radiological techniques such as percutaneous vertebroplasty, a methodology developed by French interventionists who won the first prize at the RSNA Scientific Exhibition in 1990

This review is from: Imaging of the Spine and Spinal Cord (Hardcover)

While this book is somewhat dated, it still is the best and (almost) only texbook that is worth the purchase on the subject of spinal imaging. Dr manelfe should find time to write a new edition.
