Neurofibromatosis

Chief of Neuroradiology at Yale University Medical School, Gordon Sze, M.D., presents this comprehensive overview of Neurofibromatosis diagnosis and differentiation to assist the referring physician with indications for advanced imaging studies. He describes the criteria that go into the clinical diagnosis of the different forms of neurofibromatosis, and the most common central nervous system manifestations of NF-1 and NF-2. He includes reviews of the MRI appearance of the different types of manifestations of neurofibromatosis, and furthers the understanding of the utility of MRI in suggesting the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis when other clinical stigmata are not as obvious. An invaluable tool for the practicing clinician’s library.

The “Radiology Guidance for Referring Physicians” series of ebooks offers practicing clinicians - both primary care doctors and specialists - a quick and easy reference to over 100 distinct conditions, and how state-of-the-art imaging should be applied within the context of diagnosis, preoperative staging and therapy monitoring.

Authored by board certified radiologists who also teach at the finest medical schools in the U.S. and abroad, each ebook is presented in a clear and concise manner meant to be read in less than an hour, yet contains all the necessary information with which to base a decision on when to order advanced imaging studies for the particular disease process under review.

The “Radiology Guidance for Referring Physicians” series offers doctors the opportunity to access crucial information quickly and economically as cases present in daily practice, without the need to invest in a large, all-encompassing (and expensive) tome.
