Overview

The book is directed at emergency radiologists and neuroradiologists. It aims at providing exhaustive information that will help the reader understand the clinical problems in the full range of neurological emergencies and to select the methodological and technical options that will ensure prompt and effective response and correct interpretation of the clinical findings. The various chapters address the most common neuroradiological emergencies, summarize their fundamental physiopathological features, describe the main semiological and differential diagnostic features, and provide operative suggestions for the selection of the appropriate techniques to be applied in a sequential order. The book addresses the application of state-of-the-art techniques and their implications for clinical practice (particularly the contributions of standard and functional MRI and of spiral and multislice CT). The illustrations provide not only training but also reference material for routine clinical work.

Reviews

From the reviews: ... This book is profusely illustrated with excellent scans and some nice diagrams. It has been successful in its Italian editions and I think deserves a wider readership than just doctors in Italy. The chapters are extensively referenced and up-to-date and the book read profitable by many practising radiologists who need to brush up on their knowledge of emergency neuroimaging. RAD Magazin, May 2006, pp. 5 This book aims at offering an up-to-date technical tool directed at neuroradiologists and emergency radiologists ! . this manual is devoted to the role of medical imaging for the diagnosis of neurological emergencies ! . The presentation of the book is pleasant, clear, and pedagogical. It is easy to use. ! it is well documented. The illustrations are numerous, well selected, of good size, and high quality.
