Magnetic Resonance in the Diagnosis of CNS Disorders
edited by V. Antunoví, G. Dragutinoví, Z. Leví, and M. Samardzí,
317 pp., ill., Stuttgart, Germany, Thieme, 2001, $129
This book is edited by four individuals from Serbia with expertise in radiology, neurology, and neurosurgery. It is divided into two parts: one dealing with the brain and the other with the spine. The book provides a survey of magnetic resonance in the CNS. It contains 350 illustrations of pertinent neurologic entities. Most of the images are of good quality. There are tables that list important diagnostic entities. The text is truncated, focusing on conveying essential information such as differential diagnoses. Much of the book is centered on neoplasia in the brain and the spinal cord.
There are aspects of the work that need to be embellished. The chapter on cerebrovascular disease does not contain information on contemporary MR imaging of stroke including diffusion/perfusion techniques or an algorithm for the workup of stroke in the context of thrombolytic interventions. The trauma chapter does not cover diffuse axonal injury.
Magnetic Resonance in the Diagnosis of CNS Disorders surveys magnetic resonance in the CNS. It is a useful review and enjoys a consistent perspective.
