Product Description
Imaging of the peripheral nervous system remains an art often lost between the subdisciplines of musculoskeletal and neuroradiology. For the trainee, acquiring a cohesive and systematic knowledge of peripheral nerve diseases and their imaging features can be challenging in light of the relatively limited number of cases and seemingly arbitrary assignation of studies to either musculoskeletal or neuroradiology sections. Imaging of peripheral nervous system disease, however, is becoming an increasingly valuable adjunct to neurologic examination and electrophysiologic studies, particularly as imaging technologies, especially MR imaging, become more adept at high-resolution anatomic and functional assessment of peripheral nerves. A systematic review of basic peripheral neuropathology and advanced peripheral neuroimaging techniques is therefore likely to benefit many radiologists who feel their training is limited in this area. This volume is organized to cover everything from embryogenesis of the peripheral nervous system to basic peripheral neuropathology and review of those regions where peripheral neuropathology is most commonly imaged-namely, the brachial plexus and the carpal tunnel. The basic biology of neural regeneration will undoubtedly serve as a foundation for new clinically relevant functional and molecular imaging techniques in peripheral nervous system disease. ...
