Description
Springer Diseases of the Brain, Head & Neck, Spine Diagnostic Imaging and Interventional Techniques 1st Editon 2008 Softbound by Gustav K. Schulthess, Christoph L. Zollikofer
Written by internationally renowned experts, this volume is a collection of chapters dealing with imaging diagnosis and interventional therapies in neuroradiology and diseases of the spine. The different topics are disease-oriented and encompass all the relevant imaging modalities including X-ray technology, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and magnetic resonance, as well as image-guided interventional techniques. It represents a unique experience for residents in radiology as well as for experienced radiologists wishing to be updated on the current state of the art.
