Book Description

Publication Date: December 30, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0124311520 | ISBN-13: 978-0124311527 | Edition: 2

Remarkable advances in imaging have increased the importance of MRI for diagnostic, treatment and management of epilepsy. Neuroimaging of patients with epilepsy no longer simply deals with the technology and interpretation of images but also with issues of brain metabolism, energetics, cognition and brain dysfunction. The first edition of Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy came into clinical practice in 1995 with a revolutionary idea; that is, MR is as important as EEG in the clinical management of patients with epilepsy. The second edition of Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy, the only comprehensive text in the field of epilepsy neuroimaging, reviews fundamental concepts and new advances in MR technology, computerized analysis, MR spectroscopy, DWI and other neuroimaging techniques such as PET, SPECT and MEG application to the study of patients with epileptic disorders.

*Provides a crucial update of recent advances in imaging techniques
*Timely publication as subject of neuroimaging is a very "hot" area in both clinical epilepsy and basic neuroscience research
*Editors are well-respected in this field

Editorial Reviews

Review

"With the excellent editing from the authors, this volume provides an extensive but cohesive description of the basic and advanced neuroimaging methods, and is an excellent resource for the novice in the field as well as for an experienced epileptologist or radiologist desiring to review the current state of knowledge."

This review is from: Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy, Second Edition: Neuroimaging Techniques, Second Edition (Hardcover)

This book, written by some of the best neuroimage and epilepsy specialists, is a very good overview of neuroimage.It concerns not only neuroimage, but also some essential concepts that make this field easier to understand, specially for beginners.Even if it is not the case, the reader will find a very rich reference by the end of each chapter.

I really recomend this pleasent reading.

This review is from: Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy, Second Edition: Neuroimaging Techniques, Second Edition (Hardcover)

This book is excellent and detailed enough for The Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project Biomedical Informatics staff, under the supervision of Dr. Kuzniecky, to use this book as a manual to guide their development of an MRI reviewing software for the review of 2250 MRIs of patients with IGE, LRE, IS, LGS, PMG, and PVNH. It is detailed, thorough, and Dr. Kuzniecky is an expert in his subject.
