Sinopsis

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a new and still rapidly developing imaging technique which requires a new approach to image interpreta­ tion. Radiologists are compelled to translate their experience accumulat­ ed from X-ray techniques into the language of MRI, and likewise stu­ dents of radiology and interested clinicians need special training in both languages. Out of this necessity emerged the concept of this book as a manual on the application and evaluation of proton MRI for the radiolo­ gist and as a guide for the referring physician who wants to learn about the diagnostic value of MRI in specific conditions. After a short section on the basic principles of MRI, the contrast mechanisms of present-day imaging techniques, knowledge of which is essential for the analysis of relaxation times, are described in greater de­ tail. This is followed by a demonstration of functional neuroanatomy us­ ing three-dimensional view of MR images and a synopsis of frequent neurological symptoms and their topographic correlations, which will fa­ cilitate examination strategy with respect to both accurate diagnosis and economy.

Reseña del editor

This book provides an outstanding description of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) and their presentation by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Stress is laid upon neuropathological peculiarities of the diseases, knowledge of which is of great importance for the correct evaluation of their impact on signal intensity and for the choice of adequate imaging parameters. The clinical section is preceded by a list of leading neurological symptoms and their topical correlations which serves to obtain accuracy not only in formulating diagnostic questions, but also in performing the examination. The excellent detailed presentation of the anatomy of the CNS in the MR image allows a more profound study of the relationship between the site of the lesion and its effects on function and, with it, the symptoms, than has ever been the case in existing radiological books.
