Más información sobre el libro

Thieme's indispensable guide to sectional imaging of the cranium is now in its revised and expanded fourth edition. This exquisitely illustrated text/atlas by renowned experts equips readers with the cognitive tools necessary to visualize and interpret CT and MR images of the cranium. It meticulously details normal brain structures across three orthogonal planes (axial, sagittal, and coronal), offering unparalleled accuracy that serves as a valuable resource for daily practice, teaching, and establishing an anatomic baseline for brain research. The content is not only clinically useful but also aesthetically pleasing, simplifying the learning of complex material. Key features include: detailed brain anatomy in three orthogonal planes; two-page spreads of imaging studies with graphics keyed to consistent numbering; graphic representation of major arterial and venous territories and CNS spaces; and insights into neurofunctional systems revealed in multiplanar sections, highlighting potential lesion sites and corresponding neurologic deficits. The fourth edition introduces all new high-resolution CT and MR images, including advanced 3-Tesla MR images of the brainstem, 7-Tesla images, fractional anisotropy maps, and quantitative susceptibility maps. It also updates material on temporal bone, brain maturation, and neurofunctional systems, along with expanded clinical context. This essential reference guide is invaluable for neu
