Description

Pictorial Atlas of Neuroradiological Signs examines various brain scans in order to create a useful guide for clinicians and students. Using images of diseases and other conditions, this atlas is designed to identify various signs as well as explain what the underlying reason for the presentation of such anomalies on brain scans and images. This book will be most useful to clinicians in neurology and students who are studying neuroradiology. Those with an interest in various branches of neuroscience or radiology might also find this book a useful tool.

Key features

  • Facilitates learning and acts as a guide to those who need to reference various results in neuroimaging and radiology
  • Contains concise information about each sign – such as underlying conditions associated with the sign, diseases, other things to look out for, etc.
  • Provides a single reference point for students and practitioners which is not seen in other resources currently available on the market

Readership

Neurologists, those with an interest in neuroradiology, Medical students, Radiologists, Neurology, radiology, and neurosurgery residents (especially for board exam preparation)
