Publisher Description
Professor of Diagnostic Imaging and Chief of Neuroradiology at Yale University School of Medicine, Gordon Sze, MD reviews the full range of symptoms and signs of disorders affecting the spinal cord: neoplasms and postradiation myelopathy, infections, trauma, vascular lesions, demyelinating diseases, and syringohydromyelia. He further demonstrates the difficulty of clinical differentiation between diverse types of cord lesions due to the similarity of symptoms. Lastly, he describes in depth the value of advanced imaging studies for detecting and diagnosing spinal cord lesions. Written by one of the most widely published authors in the field of diagnostic imaging, this book comprises a necessary addition to every orthopedic surgeon’s library.
The “Radiology Guidance for Referring Physicians” series of ibooks 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 employed 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 ibook 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 of sub-specialty mini books offers doctors a way to access crucial information quickly as cases present in daily practice, without having to wade through large, (and expensive) comprehensive volumes.
