ExpertDDx: Brain and Spine, Third Edition, is a comprehensive and practical resource designed to assist busy practitioners in quickly identifying the most likely differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical information. This superbly illustrated resource covers over 275 of the top differential diagnoses across a broad spectrum of central nervous system diseases, presenting parallel groups of anatomically based differentials, generic imaging patterns, modality-specific findings, and clinically based differentials for each area. Fully revised and updated, this practical reference provides clear and concise guidance through useful and actionable differential diagnoses that lead to definitive findings in every area of the brain and spine.

The book features multiple clear, sharp, and succinctly annotated images for each diagnosis, a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but significant, and brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues. It reflects changes in the 2021 WHO CNS tumor grading and nomenclature, contains newly identified entities, new differential diagnoses, and updated references, and shows both typical and variant manifestations of each possible diagnosis. It includes more than 7,000 high-quality print and online images, features updated genetic information now available in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), separates adult and pediatric DDx lists for even faster reference, and assists you in building either a definitive diagnosis from an imaging study or a carefully refined list of reasonable differential diagnoses. It also includes an eBook version that enables you to access all text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
