Full Description
This book is an introduction to neuroradiology, specifically designed for the needs of first-year residents. Currently available textbooks, while excellent reference books, provide far too much material than is needed for radiology residents, particularly those on first-year rotations. This book covers information important both from a practical standpoint and for later board preparation in a short and simple format.
The book is divided into three main sections: Brain, Spine, and Head and Neck. Using an easy-to-read bulleted format, this book covers all the necessary material for a first year resident and high-yield, often-tested topics, making it additionally a useful study guide for board preparation later in residency. In addition, it provides valuable tips on how to approach and interpret CT and MRIs of the brain, spine and head and neck. Additional included coverage makes it useful in later rotations of more specialized areas like the eyes and temporal bone structures.Key topics include neuroimaging structural and functional anatomy, neurodegenerative disorders, and facial and skull base fracture imaging. Like other books in this series, a critical component of What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Neuroradiology will be the additional images found online only. These images amount to twice the number in the print and e-book versions to fully illustrate points made in the text.
This is an ideal guide for first year radiology residency learning neuroradiology.
