<div>Diffusion-weighted<p>imaging (DWI) is an integral part of routine neuroimaging, used nearly</p><p>universally in brain MRIs, and more recently for the spine, spinal</p><p>cord, and head and neck. DWI provides clinically relevant information</p><p>on conditions including stroke, infection, and neoplasms. Diffusion</p><p>tensor imaging (DTI) is a powerful, newer technique with the potential</p><p>for multiple protocols, including the diagnosis of mild traumatic brain</p><p>injury and psychiatric disorders.<br><br>Written by leading authorities in neuroradiology and radiology, Diffusion Weighted and Diffusion Tensor Imaging: A Clinical Guide</p><p>provides key points and summaries on the concepts and applications</p><p>required for proper implementation and interpretation of DWI and DTI.<br><br>Key Features:<br></p><ul><li>More than 600 high-quality illustrations</li><li>Protocols and applications from early childhood to older adulthood</li><li>Methods to differentiate normal versus pathological states</li><li>Brain edema pathophysiology and use of DWI to distinguish between cytotoxic and vasogenic edema</li><li>Utilization<p>of DWI and DTI to diagnose trauma, white matter disease, tumors,</p><p>cerebrovascular disease, and head, neck, and spine disorders</p></li></ul>This<p>concise handbook is an invaluable resource for neuroradiologists and</p><p>radiologists, as well as fellows and residents in these disciplines.</p><p>With the expanding use of these procedures, neuroscientists,</p><p>neurologists, neurosurgeons, and psychiatrists will also find it</p><p>indispensable.<br></p></div>
