Main description:

101 MRI Brain Solutions is a compilation of 101 cases related to congenital malformations and disorders affecting the brain. This comprehensive book details the use of MRI for diagnosis of infections including tuberculous meningitis, cerebral tuberculoma, multiple cerebral tuberculomas, viral encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, neurocysticercosis, brain abscess and abscesses and ventriculitis.

This book is divided into 12 chapters, with the first two discussing the basics of MRI and the anatomy of the brain. The following 9 chapters present a compilation of cases encountered in routine practice as well as more difficult cases. The last two chapters of this book are dedicated to the glossary of MRI Terms and MRI Acronyms.

The use of MRI in the diagnosis of metachromatic leukodystrophy, Alexander disease, Canavan's disease, adrenoleukodystrophy and multiple sclerosis, is highlighted with the help of clinical cases. 101 MRI Brain Solutions is an important resource for a broad audience, from post graduate students to practising radiologists and MR technical staff.
