In this monograph, the authors summarize their findings in complex neuroimaging work (cranio-, spondylo-, myelo- and angiography as well as CT and MR imaging of the brain and spine) during their longstanding experience at the N. Burdenko Neurosurgical Institute in Moscow. The book begins with a review of modern neuroimaging techniques: CT and MR angiography, perfusion and diffusion imaging, tractography, spectroscopy and functional MR imaging.
The problems and various other aspects of diagnosis of intra- and extra-axial brain tumors (more than 30,000 verified cases) as well as of cerebrovascular, infectious, demyelinating, degenerative and traumatic brain and spine lesions are discussed. The volume is well illustrated with angiographic, CT and MR images of complex diagnostic studies. The numerous images represent a "visual text," which can be used as an atlas by practical clinicians.
The book contains 15 chapters. The first chapter outlines the stages of formation and development of neurovisualisation technology, with a historical background, and gives information necessary for understanding the novel diagnostic methods that help to visualise pathology in the context of anatomical and pathophysiological changes, even on the molecular level. New diagnostic technology makes it possible to obtain quantitative estimation of changes in disease progression, and it plays an important role in making early diagnoses within routine protocols of investigations. The chapter is aimed at readers who are familiar with the basic principles of CT and MR imaging, which is why in it we consider only the main principles and practical aspects of the newest quantitative CT and MRI diagnostic technologies, including diffusion MRI and diffusion tensor imaging, CT perfusion and MR perfusion, functional MRI, proton spectroscopy, and CT angiography and MR angiography.
In other chapters, we discuss the diagnostic principles of the main categories of diseases of, and damages to, the CNS. Most of this volume is devoted to the diagnoses of cerebrovascular disease, intracerebral and extracranial tumours and tumour- like processes, inflammatory, demyelinative, and neurodegenerative disease, and traumatic brain and spinal damage.
Chapters dedicated to the diagnoses of brain tumours are based on verified clinical cases (more than 30,000) using the complex approach including MRI, MRS, CT and MR perfusions, and diffusion-weighted imaging. Proton MR spectroscopy information is given in single- and multivoxel-regime formats Each clinical chapter contains the most important information on CNS pathological changes, basic markers for specific diagnose of the diseases, and unique images of rare pathologies.
