Descripción
- Multi-modality atlas of epilepsy neuro-imaging
- Presents key features for interpretation of epilepsy imaging across a wide range of presentations
- Clinical histories provide a context for a more thorough understanding of the findings
About this book
This clinically-oriented collection of brain imaging results provides a unique and helpful approach to the epilepsy evaluation.The atlas is divided into sections according to general clinical categories with each category including a collection of clinical examples that span the category. Each example includes images across the relevant imaging modalities that relate to one patient, whose history accompanies the images. This case-based organization with clinical history and multiple images offers a complete visual understanding of the imaging findings and the corresponding relationship of each finding to the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome.
Images for the book are from the UCLA Seizure Disorder Center, which is a referral center that serves a large outpatient epilepsy patient population and performs approximately 500 inpatient epilepsy evaluations annually.
Comprehensive and richly illustrated, this book will serve as a convenient resource in neurologic andradiologic practice, and useful for board exam review.
