Reviews

The beauty of the book is that the authors come from many disciplines (neurology, radiology, pathology, biomedical, engineering, and psychiatry), which has allowed proper integration of information from those specialties in all chapters. -- American Journal of Neuroradiology The text explains [neurodegenerative disorders] all in depth, examining the clinical findings, imaging findings and even correlating these with the pathological findings in each condition. This is an excellent reference text for any resident or practicing physician to ensure that they have a thorough grasp of the imaging evaluation of these diseases. -- YNC Newsletter (Young Neurosurgeons News)
