Main description:

This new edition provides practising and trainee radiologists with the latest advances in neuroradiology.

Divided into seven sections the book covers imaging techniques and advances, interventional neuroradiology, infections/demyelinating disorders/epilepsy, brain neoplasms, head and neck imaging, trauma and spine imaging, and allied neurosciences.

The fourth edition has been fully revised and updated, and a number of new topics added.

The comprehensive text of nearly 1000 pages, features more than 1500 radiological images and figures.

Other titles in the Diagnostic Radiology series include Paediatric Imaging, Genitourinary Imaging, Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Imaging, Chest and Cardiovascular Imaging, and Musculoskeletal and Breast Imaging.
