Imaging of Traumatic Brain Injury

An image-rich text on neuroimaging of trauma patients

Imaging of Traumatic Brain Injury is a radiological reference that covers all aspects of neurotrauma imaging and provides a clinical overview of traumatic brain injury (TBI). It  describes the imaging features of acute head trauma, the pathophysiology of TBI, and the application of advanced imaging technology to brain-injured patients.

Key Features:

• Covers acute as well as chronic traumatic brain injury
• Written in an easily accessible format, with pearls and summary boxes at the end of each chapter
• Includes state-of-the-art imaging techniques, including the multiplanar format, the utility of multiplanar reformats, perfusion imaging, susceptibility weighted
  imaging, and advanced MRI techniques
• Contains over 250 high-quality images

This book will serve as a practical reference for practicing radiologists as well as radiology residents and fellows, neurosurgeons, trauma surgeons, and emergency physicians.
