At
the 2003 RSNA a new book on diffusion imaging of the brain
will be
released. This 15 chapter work covers all aspects of diffusion
images of
the brain. |
This
practical-minded text helps the radiologist and the clinican
understand diffusion-weighted MR imaging.
The book's 15 chapters
range from basic principles to interpretation of diffusion-weighted
MR imaging and specific disease. It is aimed at those who are
involved in neuroimaging, including: residents, fellows, staff,
as well as neurologists and neurosurgeons.
Diffusion-weighted
MR imaging is widely accepted as a means to identify acute
infarction but also to differentiate many other
pathologic conditions. Understanding diffusion-weighted imaging
is important for radiologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons
as well as radiology technologists. During the past four years,
the expert authors have presented over 30 exhibits and scientific
reports on diffusion-weighted imaging at the RSNA and the American
Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR). More than 10 of these exhibits
and presentations have been recognized by specific awards.
