Ces techniques, conjuguées aux dernières innovations (imagerie par tenseur de diffusion, tractographie, imagerie fonctionnelle, spectroscopie, angio-IRM dynamique, scanner multibarrette, etc.), mettent à la disposition du radiologue des outils performants, à condition de maîtriser à la fois techniques, données cliniques et pathologies à rechercher. Ce traité a ainsi pour objectif d'établir une synthèse des connaissances de la neuroradiologie diagnostique. Radiologues et cliniciens sont invités à évaluer les apports de l'imagerie neuroradiologique appliquée successivement aux accidents vasculaires cérébraux, aux lésions tumorales, aux dysfonctionnements de la région sellaire et aux autres pathologies cérébrales de nature infectieuse, dégénérative ou congénitale. D'autre part, l'ouvrage éclaire le praticien sur les erreurs diagnostiques, oriente ses interprétations et l'aide à déterminer la technique d'imagerie la plus performante en fonction de la pathologie étudiée. Le succès de la 1re édition et les avancées permanentes dans ce domaine imposaient une nouvelle édition de ce traité. Fruit d'une collaboration étroite entre spécialistes de renom, riche de plus de 3 500 iconographies, dont plus de 500 nouveaux clichés présentant les dernières techniques (angio-IRM, pet-scan, imagerie de perfusion, imagerie fonctionnelle, etc.) et de références entièrement à jour des derniers travaux, ce traité constitue la référence française en neuro-imagerie Il est indispensable pour tous les radiologues et neuroradiologues.
