Now expanded to two volumes, the Third Edition of this classic text is the definitive encyclopedia on cranial and spinal MRI. This edition features new chapters on functional neuroanatomy, diffusion MRI, perfusion MRI, task activation functional MRI, epilepsy, and the cranial nerves. The previous edition's chapters have been extensively revised to reflect the evolution of new imaging techniques.Virtually all of the previous edition's MR images have been replaced with newer, sharper examples. The tables have been redesigned, with use of color, for greater clarity and visual appeal. This title will also be available as a stand alone CD at the end of 2002 or as a book and CD package.Praise for the previous edition:'This is the very model of a modern major general text on MRI in the neurosciences, and I would not hesitate to recommend it as a reliable source-text for the relative beginner and the expert alike.'--NeuroradiologyPraise for the previous edition:'The main strength of this work is its near encyclopedic coverage of MRI of the brain and spine, nicely correlated with clinical and pathological material. No other book of this scope exists.... Dr. Atlas and colleagues, well done!' --Annals of Neurology
