Full Description
In this issue of Neuroimaging Clinics, guest editors Drs. Mahmud Mossa-Basha, Carlos Zamora, and Mauricio Castillo bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Vasculitis. Both conventional and advanced imaging play a central role in the diagnosis of vasculitides, and in this issue, top experts in the field discuss classification, guidelines, diagnosis, pathology, and imaging of every major type of vasculitis.
Contains 14 relevant, practice-oriented topics including classification and guidelines for diagnosis of vasculitis; clinical diagnosis, manifestations and treatment of infectious and post-infectious vasculopathies; usefulness of different imaging methods in the diagnosis of cerebral vasculopathy; imaging of vasculitis associated with systemic disease (RA, lupus, sarcoid); and more.
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on vasculitis, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
