Atlas of Clinical Cases on Brain Tumor Imaging

Provides many imaging samples, together with brief and illustrative explanations

Discusses numerous clinical tumor cases with an emphasis on advanced radiological imaging methods

Contains principals and primary radiological findings on brain tumors

About this book

This book presents and analyzes clinical cases of brain tumors and follows the classification provided by the WHO in 2016. After introductory chapters reviewing the international literature on the topic, the advances made in all imaging modalities (especially Magnetic Resonance and Computed Tomography) are examined.All radiological findings are supplemented with a wealth of images and brief explanations.

The clinical information is given as part of the case discussion, as are the characteristics and differential diagnosis of the tumors. Radiologic-pathologic correlations round out the description of each clinical case.Intended as a quick and illustrative reference guide for radiology residents and medical students, this atlas represents the most up-to-date, practice-oriented reference book in the field of Brain Tumor Imaging.
