Reviews"[This book] is an excellent introduction to the clinical understanding of neuroimaging." -- John Dsurney, Applied Neuropsychology-Adult "This well written and eminently readable book fills the gap between the student or practitioner with a rudimentary understanding of brain imaging techniques and the complex knowledge required by specialists. Rather than over simplify, the book focuses on what is necessary to understand these techniques in the context of clinical usefulness... This book provides the reader with the ability to understand the usefulness and limitations of brain imaging so that studies may be ordered appropriately with a clinical question in mind and not just as an indiscriminate screening tool." -- H. Terry Hutchison, M.D., Ph.D., University of California, San Francisco - School of Medicine, "[This book] is an excellent introduction to the clinical understanding of neuroimaging." -- John Dsurney, Applied Neuropsychology-Adult"This well written and eminently readable book fills the gap between the student or practitioner with a rudimentary understanding of brain imaging techniques and the complex knowledge required by specialists.

SynopsisBrain Imaging: A Guide for Clinicians is designed to provide a foundation of information necessary to those wishing to integrate brain imaging into their practice, or to those that currently review brain scans but have minimal formal training in neuroimaging. The guide covers a range of topics important to those using brain imaging, such as the strengths and weaknesses of the many different techniques currently available, the factors that may influence theuse of imaging data, common pitfalls or artifacts that may be misleading to the clinician, the most appropriate techniques to use given a specific clinical question or condition, how to interpret information presented on a brain image, and also how many pathological conditions appear on a variety of brainscanning techniques or sequences. This guide also provides detailed information regarding the identification of primary brain regions, anatomical structures, systems or pathways using both two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging techniques. A brain atlas is included using both CT and MRI sequences to facilitate the reader's ability to identify most primary brain structures. A novel color-coded system is used throughout this guide to assist the reader in identifying slice locations andorientations. Images with green borders are displayed in the axial plane, with the slice location being shown on other orthogonal image planes by a green line. Similarly, images with a red border are displayed in the coronal plane and those with a blue border are displayed using a sagittal plane;red and blue reference lines are displayed on orthogonal slices to identify the slice location. The crosshairs formed by the color-coded reference lines optimize the reader's ability to identify primary anatomical structures or pathological markers and processes.This book is written in a manner to progress from a general description of the clinical use of brain images and the interpretation of brain scans, to more complex chapters involving neuroanatomy and imaging technology. Real life examples of clinical cases are integrated into all chapters of this guide. Brain Imaging: A Guide for Clinicians provides hundreds of images derived from traumatic and non-traumatic pathologies to provide the reader with examples of conditions most often seenin the clinic. PEARL-PERIL sections outline critical information for the clinician, along with many tables and charts designed to provide general information required when interpreting brain images., This book is designed to provide a foundation of information necessary to those wishing to integrate brain imaging into their practice or who seek more training. Information is provided to assist the clinician in interpreting images, determining which scans to order, and how images should be used in the clinic., Brain Imaging: A Guide for Clinicians is designed to provide a foundation of information necessary to those wishing to integrate brain imaging into their practice, or to those that currently review brain scans but have minimal formal training in neuroimaging.
