The authors, Drs. Runge, Smoker, and Valvanis, have done a superb job in concentrating the breath of clinical neuroradiology into a manageable book, which may easily be read in 1 or 2 fortnights. Neuroradiology: The EssentialsWith MR and CT should be a favorite both for boards study as well as to be kept close at hand in the reading room. I enthusiastically recommend this textbook to all residents, neuroradiology fellows, and general diagnostic radiologists. —  Investigative Radiology

Neuroradiology is a core clinical resource that clearly illustrates and describes MR and CT images of the brain, head and neck, and spine. The text distills the essential aspects of neuroradiology and contains in-depth discussions of imaging findings. Written from a clinical radiology perspective, the content of this book draws on the personal experience of the authors, all of whom are leading experts in neuroradiology.

Key Features:

• More than 1000 high-quality MR and CT images representing the full range of diseases encountered in everyday practice
• Online access to a wealth of image sets on Thiemes Media Center
• Covers common and critical MR and CT diagnosed pathologies in neuroradiology
• Contains clear, concise explanations of MR physics and imaging findings in clinical neuroradiology

This excellent clinical reference helps busy radiologists and neuroradiologists, as well as residents and fellows in these specialties, tackle challenging cases they face on a day-to-day basis and enables them to properly diagnose the common, important pathologies encountered in their patients.
