This second, updated edition of Inflammatory Diseases of the Brain
provides a comprehensive overview of the field from a neuroradiological
point of view. In order to ensure a standardized approach throughout,
each disease-oriented chapter is again subdivided into three principal
sections: epidemiology, clinical presentation, and therapy; imaging; and
differential diagnosis. A separate chapter addresses technical and
methodological issues and imaging protocols. An important focus of the
book is the current role of advanced MR imaging techniques, such as
diffusion and perfusion MRI and MR spectroscopy, in the differentiation
of inflammatory and other brain diseases. All of the authors are
recognized experts, and the numerous high-quality and informative
illustrations include some not contained in the first edition. This book
will be of great value not only to neuroradiologists but also to
neurologists, neuropediatricians, and general radiologists.
