Covering the entire spectrum of this fast-changing field, Diagnostic Imaging: Spine, fifth edition, is an invaluable resource for general radiologists, neuroradiologists, and trainees?anyone who requires an easily accessible, highly visual reference on today’s spinal imaging. Drs. Jeffrey Ross, Kevin Moore, and their team of highly regarded experts provide updated information on disease identification and imaging techniques to help you make informed decisions at the point of care. The text is image-rich, with succinct bullets that quickly convey details, and includes the latest literature references, making it a useful learning tool as well as a handy reference for daily practice. Serves as a one-stop resource for key concepts and information on radiologic imaging and interpretation of the spine, neck, and central nervous system Contains six robust sections, each beginning with normal imaging anatomy and covering all aspects of this challenging field: Congenital and Genetic Disorders, Trauma, Degenerative Diseases and Arthritides, Infection and Inflammatory Disorders, Peripheral Nerve and Plexus, and Spine Postprocedural/Posttreatment Imaging Features 3,200+ high-quality print images (with an additional 2,100+ images in the complimentary eBook), including radiologic images, full-color medical illustrations, clinical photographs, histologic images, and gross pathologic photographs Provides new and expanded content on CSF leak disorder and root sleeve leak; CSF-venous fistulas; demyelinating disease based upon better knowledge of MS; neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder; anti-MOG disorders; malignant nerve sheath tumor and paragangliomas; and spinal ependymomas, including myxopapillary and classical cellular spinal ependymoma Contains new chapters on both imaging technique and diseases/disorders, and existing chapters have been rearranged to better represent current information on inflammatory and autoimmune disorders and systemic manifestations of diseases Provides updates from cover to cover, including overviews and new recommendations for evaluation of transitional spinal anatomy (spine enumeration), which have important and practical applications in routine imaging with downstream effects on spine intervention Uses bulleted, succinct text and highly templated chapters for quick comprehension of essential information at the point of care Includes an eBook that allows you access to everything in the print version as well as additional images, text, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud; additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date

Designed with the busy practitioner in mind, ExpertDDx: Brain and Spine, third edition, quickly guides you to the most likely differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical information. This superbly illustrated resource covers more than 275 of the top differential diagnoses across a broad spectrum of central nervous system diseases, presenting parallel groups of anatomically based differentials, generic imaging patterns, modality-specific findings, and clinically based differentials for each area. Now fully revised and up-to-date, this practical reference clearly guides you through useful, actionable differential diagnoses that lead to definitive findings in every area of the brain and spine. Presents multiple clear, sharp, succinctly annotated images for each diagnosis; a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but significant; and brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues Reflects changes in 2021 WHO CNS tumor grading and nomenclature Contains newly identified entities, new differential diagnoses, and updated references Shows both typical and variant manifestations of each possible diagnosis Includes more than 7,000 high-quality print and online images Features updated genetic information now available in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) Separates adult and pediatric DDx lists for even faster reference Assists you in building either a definitive diagnosis from an imaging study or a carefully refined list of reasonable differential diagnoses Includes an eBook version that enables you to access all text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud

10-20 per cent of spinal surgery patients will experience one or more complications from their surgery. These complications are intimately tied to the specifics of their surgery, their underlying pathology, surgical approach, and the devices or instrumentation utilized. Further complicating matters are the bewildering array of hardware that is utilized to treat spine disease, with new approaches constantly becoming available. The goal of "Specialty Imaging: Postoperative Spine" is to provide a broad overview of the role of advanced imaging for the diagnosis and management of the postoperative spine patient. Thus this book covers normal (preoperative) spine anatomy, gives brief synopses of common surgical approaches, and covers the appearance of the normal postoperative state. Emphasis is given to the imaging and diagnosis of local spine and adjacent soft tissue postoperative complications, as well as remote complications and general medical complications. This is not a surgical textbook. The surgical descriptions are purposely superficial, and geared toward radiologists who want a general understanding of the clinical rationale for the surgery and the surgical approach. This book is intended for practicing radiologists, residents, fellows, and anyone who treats postoperative spine patients.
