Book Description
This state-of-the-art reference discusses the full range of imaging techniques used in neurology today. Provides comprehensive coverage of the brain and spine, including anatomy and variants, trauma, infections, tumors, diseases, and more. Combines the expertise of a neuroradiologist, a neurosurgeon, and a neurologist to provide insight into common diagnostic challenges from both an anatomical and clinical perspective. Introduces basic concepts of imaging techniques, emphasizing modern cross-sectional imaging, then explains how and why to order plain film, CT, MRI, or US using examples of imaging findings. Clarifies imaging findings with an abundance of illustrations, and also includes a number of tables to summarize concepts. Focuses on the characteristics of common disorders, and the diagnostic challenges of spinal trauma, and degenerative and acquired diseases of the spine. Discusses pediatric neurological diseases, including congenital anomalies and neurocutaneous syndromes. Includes an appendix explaining the diagnosis of brain trauma, and appropriate imaging studies in urgent care settings. Encourages further study with a suggested reading list of neuroimaging texts and other resources.

Book Description
The use of neuroimaging studies in psychiatry is exploding -- and offers tremendous potential for practicing clinicians. Yet if you're like many psychiatrists, you're sometimes uncertain about which studies to use in specific situations. Until now, you've had to sort through the only information available -- technical reviews in the literature -- for guidance. But no more. Essentials of Neuroimaging for Clinical Practice is an all-in-one resource that explains how to use these powerful techniques to improve outcomes. It demystifies neuroimaging with clear, concise, and practical advice on using today's most advanced applications in the diagnostic workup of patients. This practical clinical guide will help you achieve a solid understanding of the full range of neuroimaging modalities: Structural techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Functional techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) Other techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) -- including quantitative EEG and event-related potentials -- and magnetoencephalography. For each modality, you'll find: A basic review of the technique -- trace the development of each modality, and become familiar with its underlying technology. Guidance on when to use it -- learn which techniques are best to use in specific clinical situations. Tips for ordering studies -- discover how to write up orders to obtain the most accurate and detailed information from each study, including when to use contrast and how to determine the best acquisition parameters. A look at its future potential in practice and research -- explore the current capabilities of each modality and the most promising strategies for improving diagnostic results. Filled with examples of real-life imaging studies, Essentials of Neuroimaging for Clinical Practice is a must-have tool for all practicing psychiatrists and psychologists. In addition, it will serve as an excellent clinical guide for residents -- and an outstanding text for courses in clinical neuroimaging for psychiatrists.

Book Description
Within the field of neuroscience, the past few decades have witnessed an exponential growth of research into the brain mechanisms underlying both normal and pathological states of consciousness in humans. The development of sophisticated imaging techniques to visualize and map brain activity in vivo has opened new avenues in our understanding of the pathological processes involved in common neuropsychiatric disorders affecting consciousness, such as epilepsy, coma, vegetative states, dissociative disorders, and dementia. This book presents the state of the art in neuroimaging exploration of the brain correlates of the alterations in consciousness across these conditions, with a particular focus on the potential applications for diagnosis and management. Although the book has a practical approach and is primarily targeted at neurologists, neuroradiologists, and psychiatrists, it will also serve as an essential reference for a wide range of researchers and health care professionals.
