Multimodality Atlas of the Human Brain (Hardcover)

An Atlas for the 21st Century

The most precise, cutting-edge images of normal cerebral anatomy available today are the centerpiece of this
spectacular atlas for clinicians, trainees, and students in the neurologically-based medical and non-medical
specialties. Truly an 밶tlas for the 21st century,?this comprehensive visual reference presents a detailed overview
of cerebral anatomy acquired through the use of multiple imaging modalities including advanced techniques that allow
visualization of structures not possible with conventional MRI or CT. Beautiful color illustrations using 3-D modeling
techniques based upon 3D MR volume data sets further enhances understanding of cerebral anatomy and spatial
relationships. The anatomy in these color illustrations mirror the black and white anatomic MR images presented in this
atlas.

Written by two neuroradiologists and an anatomist who are also prominent educators, along with more than a dozen
contributors, the atlas begins with a brief introduction to the development, organization, and function of the human
brain. What follows is more than 1,000 meticulously presented and labelled images acquired with the full complement of
standard and advanced modalities currently used to visualize the human brain and adjacent structures뾦ncluding MRI, CT,
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) with tractography, functional MRI, CTA, CTV, MRA, MRV, conventional 2-D catheter
angiography, 3-D rotational catheter angiography, MR spectroscopy, and ultrasound of the neonatal brain. The vast array
of data that these modes of imaging provide offers a wider window into the brain and allows the reader a unique way to
integrate the complex anatomy presented. Ultimately the improved understanding you can acquire using this atlas can
enhance clinical understanding and have a positive impact on patient care. Additionally, various anatomic structures
can be viewed from modality to modality and from multiple planes.

This state-of-the-art atlas provides a single source reference, which allows the interested reader ease of use, cross-
referencing, and the ability to visualize high-resolution images with detailed labeling. It will serve as an
authoritative learning tool in the classroom, and as an invaluable practical resource at the workstation or in the
office or clinic.
