Atlas of Spine Imaging

These images offer guidance on CT, MR and nuclear medicine imaging for common and uncommon spinal diseases. Alongside the annotated illustrations, the text provides background information on each disease entity, interpretation of images and specific recommendations for reporting. The book discusses and illustrates trauma, neoplasms, infections and congenital and developmental anomalies. There are detailed discussions of spondylolysis, and degenerative diseases are examined. The atlas further: evaluates post-operative complications and associated imaging findings; features algorithms and tables to illustrate key concepts; emphasises algorithmic work-ups of tumours and suspected infections to promote correct categorisation of findings, and uses a logical organisation for easy access to information, with tumours arranged in the traditional neuroradiology/neurosurgery differential categories.
