Pocket Atlas of Normal Spine MRI-2판(2000)

Summary:
Featuring 97 sharp, new images obtained with state-of-the-art
scanning technology, the Second Edition of this popular pocket
atlas is a quick, handy guide to interpreting magnetic resonance
images of the spine. The book shows readers how to recognize
normal anatomic structures on MRI scans...and how to distinguish
these structures from artifacts.
Each page presents a high-resolution image, with anatomic
landmarks clearly labeled. Directly above the image are a key to
the labels and a thumbnail illustration that orients the reader
to the plane of view (sagittal, axial, or coronal). This format--
sharp images, orienting thumbnails, and clear keys--enables
readers to identify features with unprecedented speed and
accuracy.
Chapters cover the cervical spine, craniocervical junction,
thoracic spine, thoracolumbar junction, lumbar spine, and
sacrum. This edition includes a new section on the occipital-
cervical junction, with emphasis on the upper cervical ligaments
and atlantoaxial articulations.
Praise for the previous edition:
"No artist's rendition nor photograph of a fixed specimen could
match the detail shown here. The authors have painstakingly
identified those structures of clinical significance. The
quality of the reproductions and the clarity of the identifying
arrows, etc. is exemplary....Not only should this booklet prove
to be a valuable reference for those clinicians interested in
spinal disorders, but also for the next generation of physicians
struggling to understand the morphology of the human body."--
Journal of Spinal Disorders
"An excellent guide for all those interested in learning about
the normal magnetic resonance imaging anatomy of the spine and
its neural contents."--Neurology
"An invaluable reference text for technologists, radiologists,
neurologists, and orthopedists alike....This tiny gem will
greatly facilitate the transition from the physics lectures of
the classroom to the actual acquisition of diagnostic images."--
