Ebook Neurologi : Neurology Image Based Clinical Review
The ability to properly interpret and develop in-
dependence and profi ciency in neuroradiological
studies is crucial for all neurologists. Various lesions
often produce peculiar visual patterns on MRI and
CT scans; these narrow the broad list of potential dif-
ferential diagnoses, thus obviating the need for more
invasive tests such as brain biopsies or angiograms.
At the same time, neurologists need to understand
the strengths and limitations of these studies and to
appreciate the relevance of neuroradiological fi nd-
ings in the larger clinical context.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a visual
memory of a clinical case is retained and absorbed
in a way traditional text readings are not. We intro-
duce each topic in this book with a brief clinical sce-
nario to reinforce this connection, and populate the
text with a broad array of neuroimages, including CT,
MRI, MRA, and angiography, to familiarize readers
with the interpretation of various modalities, and to
demonstrate how these fi ndings infl uence treatment.
For the sake of readability, each condition is pre-
sented in a uniform and straightforward manner.
Every topic begins with a brief case scenario and
image-based diagnosis, and is followed by a short
introduction to the disorder, clinical presentation,
radiographic appearance, diagnostic hallmarks, dif-
ferential diagnosis, and treatment. Each section also
includes selected references for further study. The
bulleted template presents readers with the most
relevant and necessary clinical information and de-
liberately avoids long exposition. We hope that this
approach will facilitate the use of this book as a handy
reference at the point of care, or as a visual study
guide for self-assessment and test review.
