Magnetic Resonance Neurography

0.0

Divided into nine chapters, this book discusses Magnetic Resonance Neurography (MRN) in different parts of the body. Beginning with an introduction to nerve anatomy and pathophysiology, the authors examine the most common clinical scenarios encountered and explain how toproduce high quality MRN images and optimise the use of MR magnets in peripheral nerve imaging. With contributions from recognised authorities in the US and almost 600 detailed images and illustrations, this book also includes a chapter on MR guided injection and discusses future directions, research areas and scope for further developments in technology. Salient Features This book has been written by the two experts of magnetic resonance neurography (MNR) practitioners and educators, this thoroughly illustrated resource delivers how the information one need to perform and interpret peripheral nerve MR imaging studies with confidence. It has been divided into 9 chapters, addressing different issues or different parts of the body, but with similar approach and aids for the interpretation of the MRN studies. Concise descriptions and high quality illustrations combined with chapters covering nerve pathophysiology, MNR technique, relevant imaging anatomy and spectrum of commonly encountered pathologies as well as MR guided intervention help you navigate through the complex world of peripheral nerve, brachial and lumbosacral plexus imaging.
