Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain and Spine is the leading textbook/reference on imaging diagnosis of brain and spine disorders. This thoroughly updated two-volume reference delivers cutting-edge information on nearly every aspect of clinical neuroradiology.

International experts show how to generate state-of-the-art images and define diagnoses from crucial clinical/pathologic MR imaging correlations for neurologic, neurosurgical, and psychiatric diseases spanning fetal CNS anomalies to disorders of the aging brain.

Highlights of this edition include over 6,800 images of remarkable quality, more color images, and new information using advanced techniques, including perfusion and diffusion MRI and functional MRI.

A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.
