Clinical Neuroradiology: A Case-Based Approach

by Gasser M. Hathout, Tanya Ferguson

Overview

A truly interdisciplinary clinical text, Clinical Neuroradiology investigates the structure-function relationship for major CNS diseases, illustrated by considering actual clinical cases. Authored by a leading neuroradiologist, this landmark publication provides neuroradiologists with clinical neurological correlates and neurologists with imaging correlates for all key neurological conditions. Organised by brain region, each chapter contains an introductory section of clinically relevant neuroanatomy followed by a series of case studies giving: • Brief history and summary of findings • Differential diagnosis • Imaging findings, related to clinical deficits • Pertinent neuronal circuits, neurochemistry and neurogenetics • Basic therapeutic approaches to each syndrome Due to its utility in demonstrating structural-functional correlates, a separate chapter on stroke is included. Lavishly illustrated with images from all modalities and outstanding anatomical diagrams rendered in true radiographic (rather than 'upside-down' anatomic) orientation, Clinical Neuroradiology is an invaluable resource for everyone involved in the diagnosis and management of neurological disorders.

Editorial Reviews

'Among the plethora of case review publications, Clinical Neuroradiology: A Case-Based Approach stands out in concept, content, and educational value. … Overall, this is an excellent case study book, and it importantly provides an enjoyable and painless way of learning (and retaining) detailed neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. It can be confidentially recommended as an individual purchase or for a departmental/sectional library.' American Journal of Neuroradiology

'… Dr Hathout's informal writing style keeps the tone light and engaging. …There is a gap between neurology and neuroradiology, and better exchange of information will come about through both sides becoming more familiar with the other field. Clinical Neuroradiology: A Case-Based Approach accomplishes exactly what Dr Hathout set out to do and is an excellent text for any neurology and radiology resident, attending, or private practitioner to study and retain as a reference.' Matthew W. Morris, American Journal of Neuroradiology

'… careful reading of the text does reveal a wealth of information and certainly extended my knowledge well beyond the neuroradiological necessities … you are likely to increase the breadth of your neurologicial knowledge considerably.' Neuroradiology Journal
