Description

The overriding goal for radiologic imagers is tissue and structural discrimination. Thin-section computed tomography (CT) scanning, the use of intrathecal nonionic contrast agents, and gas cisternography are relatively new techniques that have gained rapid popularity since the first edition of Correlative Neuroradiology was published, and these are described in detail. Nuclear magnetic resonance scanning is introduced as an imaging method for normal topographic relationships. Since this text is not intended to be an atlas of pathology, cases used to illustrate topographic localizations were chosen carefully to encompass as many different types of neuropathology as possible. The basic theme of topographic localization of normal and abnormal intracranial anatomy is preserved in this 2nd edition, in order to provide the reader with an accurate interpretation of neuroradiologic studies, and to keep technological advances in perspective. The book provides the foundation necessary to recognize critical details of brain anatomy, and more important, provides a method of correlation among each of the imaging modalities. This edition is a composite of basic neuroanatomy and functional topographic relationships viewed from a radiographic perspective. It concentrates on the strengths of each radiographic imaging method and procedure. Each of the investigative parts contributes data to the final localization of a lesion, the differential diagnosis, and the most likely diagnostic consideration. In addition, the appendixes provide essential information about specific aspects of diagnosis of most neuropathologic states to assist the practitioner with differential diagnost considerations.
