About this book

This book presents and analyzes clinical cases of brain tumors and follows the classification provided by the WHO in 2016. After introductory chapters reviewing the international literature on the topic, the advances made in all imaging modalities (especially Magnetic Resonance and Computed Tomography) are examined.
All radiological findings are supplemented with a wealth of images and brief explanations. The clinical information is given as part of the case discussion, as are the characteristics and differential diagnosis of the tumors. Radiologic-pathologic correlations round out the description of each clinical case.
Intended as a quick and illustrative reference guide for radiology residents and medical students, this atlas represents the most up-to-date, practice-oriented reference book in the field of Brain Tumor Imaging.


Reviews

“It appears clear that this book is more than only an Atlas of brain tumors. Being able to provide all the most important and characterizing neuroradiological data achievable in brain neoplasm using MRI (or CT), the publication has to be integrated with further information achievable with PET and hybrid imaging.” (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 48, 2021)




“This up-to-date handbook on neuro-oncological radiology was published in April of this year and is an excellent read – I highly recommend it. ... The editors themselves say this book is ‘intended as a quick and illustrative reference guide for radiology residents and medical students’ and this is a good description. … It is also likely to appeal to neurologists and neurosurgeons who may want to improve their understanding of the value of neuroradiology in the context of brain tumours.” (Samantha Mills, RAD Magazine, December, 2020)
