The Clinical Neurosciences

TLDR

This new neuroradiology volume is the fourth in a series of clinical neuroscience books, following neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropathology, with a planned fifth on neurobiology, and is intended to provide a synthetic, integrative approach to disease. The book is compiled by Dr Heinz and 20 prominent experts, with brain and spine sections organized into introductory technique and anatomy chapters followed by pathology chapters. The material is very well organized.

Abstract

This important new book on neuroradiology is the fourth in a series of books covering the clinical neurosciences. The previous volumes included neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropathology. A fifth volume on neurobiology is planned. The Editor-in-Chief of the series, Dr Rosenberg, states that the series is designed "to have the work be synthetic and integrative in approaching disease entities, so that the summed effect of the five sections would be truly greater than their separate discussions." The editor of the neuroradiology sections, Dr Heinz, is a leader in the field and 20 other well-known neuroradiologists, neuroscientists, and physicists have contributed chapters for the book. The material is very well organized. The major sections on the brain and the spine are each introduced with chapters on techniques and anatomy, and these introductions are followed by chapters on pathologic conditions, such as developmental abnormalities, tumors, trauma, etc. Each chapter describing pathology uses all
