DESCRIZIONE

This practical-minded text helps the radiologist and the clinician understand diffusion-weighted MR imaging. The book’s 15 chapters range from basic principles to interpretation of diffusion-weighted MR imaging and specific disease. In this second edition, diffusion tensor imaging (fractional anisotropy, color map and fiber tractography) is covered and a new chapter, on "Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of Scalp and Skull Lesions," is included. The volume is updated by newly added cases accompanied by radiological and pathological images along with the most recent references. It is aimed at all those who are involved in neuroimaging, including: residents, fellows, staff, as well as neurologists and neurosurgeons.Table of contents Principles of diffusion-weighted imaging.- Normal brain and artifacts.- Brain edema: Classification.
