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.
