‘Brain Imaging’ is published as one of a series of twelve Direct Diagnosis in Radiology (Dx-Direct) Thieme books, covering the main subspecialities in radiology. The other volumes cover gastrointestinal, cardiac, breast, genitourinary, vascular, spinal, head and neck, musculoskeletal, pediatric, thoracic and interventional radiology. The present volume, ‘Brain Imaging’, provides essentially a compendium of cases commonly encountered by (neuro) radiologists in their daily practice. It can be thought of as a ‘survival guide’ for the uninitiated, or as an introduction to neuroradiology. Each condition or disease entity is presented with illustrative images and a concise text, providing a quick reference. The authors are experienced and well-respected neuroradiologists from the University of Heidelberg (K Sartor and S Haehnel) and from the Hospital Nordwest in Frankfurt am Main.
