Description
Springer Atlas of Postsurgical Neuroradiology Imaging of the Brain, Spine, Head, and Neck 1st Editon 2016 Softbound by Daniel Thomas Ginat, Per-Lennart A. Westesson
As a result of the increasing number of surgical procedures on the brain, head, neck, and spine, postoperative changes are being encountered more frequently on neuroradiological examinations. However, these findings are often unfamiliar to neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons and can be difficult to interpret. This book, which contains numerous images and to-the-point case descriptions, is a comprehensive yet concise reference guide to postsurgical neuroradiology. It will enable the reader to identify the type of surgery performed and the hardware implanted and to differentiate expected sequelae from complications. Topics reviewed include trauma, tumors, vascular disorders, and infections of the head, neck, and spine; cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities; and degenerative diseases of the spine. This book will serve as a unique and convenient resource for both neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons. Introduction.- Brain: Burr holes/craniotomy/craniectomy/tumor resection.
