The advent of computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized
radiological investigation of the brain, and has changed dramatically
our understanding of cerebral pathologies. CT scanners can produce in
seconds high quality images of bone and soft tissues and enjoy
widespread use in general hospitals and specialist neurological
units.
Designed for easy reference in the clinical setting, this highly-
illustrated guide has been designed for familiarize radiologists and
clinicians with commonly encountered clinical scenarios.
Adopting a problem-based approach, the reader is taken through a
series of case histories. Starting with a short clinical description,
each case includes one or more CT images followed by a description of
the CT findings and a short explanation of the appropriate diagnosis.
The book concludes with a section of MCQs that can be used for self-
assessment.
