  • Imagerie de la colonne vertébrale et de la moelle épinière

    • 3rd Edition

    • French
    L’analyse du rachis ostéo-discal, de la moelle épinière, des espaces rachidiens et des racines nerveuses s’est beaucoup enrichie ces dernières années, grâce aux progrès constants de l’IRM souvent devenue l’examen de référence pour le contenu canalaire, mais également grâce aux nouveaux développements de la TDM. Cet ouvrage situe la place des différentes techniques d’imagerie, illustre leur apport dans les pathologies fréquentes, et montre combien elles étendent la connaissance de pathologies plus rares. Les premiers chapitres rappellent les bases anatomiques, embryologiques et cliniques, avant un chapitre dédié à l’utilisation et aux avancées des techniques IRM et TDM. Sont ensuite étudiées les malformations de la moelle et du rachis, et les cavités médullaires. Les pathologies traumatiques, tumorales, infectieuses, inflammatoires et dégénératives font l’objet de chapitres exhaustifs. Les versants ostéodiscaux et neurologiques de ces pathologies sont largement couverts par des équipes de spécialistes chevronnés. Les malformations vasculaires de la moelle épinière sont ensuite passées en revue. Enfin, versant en plein essor de la pratique radiologique, la radiologie interventionnelle est abordée de manière critique dans ses indications les plus fréquentes.Pour chaque pathologie, les auteurs s’attachent à un rappel de la présentation clinique, des données physiopathologiques, insistent sur la sémiologie fine et les diagnostics différentiels en imagerie, intègrent cette imagerie dans la démarche thérapeutique et fournissent des recommandations techniques.De nouveaux auteurs rejoignent une équipe déjà très étoffée pour proposer un nouvel ouvrage entièrement revisité. Ce livre, maintenant en couleur, offre une iconographie riche, complétée et renouvelée, au profit d’images issues des appareils de toute dernière génération et d’infographies en couleur pour l’anatomie et les schémas explicatifs. Cette nouvelle édition confirme son but didactique : elle constitue un véritable manuel pratique dédié à l’usage quotidien.
