Neuroradiology - Images vs Symptoms

The book aims to highlight the importance of collaboration with clinician colleagues in diagnosing rare and serious conditions hidden behind common neurological symptoms. It is structured as an atlas with 27 cases, including rare and peculiar cases, and common cases with a twist. It is intended for residents, general radiologists, and neuroradiologists, as well as less experienced colleagues or trainees who need to solve particular cases.

The aim of this comprehensive book is to shed light on the fact that rare and serious conditions can often be concealed behind common and misleading neurological symptoms. It emphasizes the crucial importance of collaboration with clinician colleagues, particularly neuroradiologists, who require comprehensive and accurate patient information to make accurate diagnoses or differentiate between different conditions that can effectively guide further diagnostic processing.

The book is organized as an atlas, divided into three sections based on the most prevalent leading symptoms encountered in hospital emergency units or outpatient settings. Each proposed case is accompanied by a brief medical history, CT and MRI images, and a text detailing its most significant radiological features.

To provide a diverse range of cases, 27 cases were carefully selected from the authors' daily practice, encompassing rare and peculiar cases as well as common cases with unexpected twists. While both authors are experienced neuroradiologists, several of the cases presented challenges, requiring considerable time and expertise to reach the correct diagnosis.

A combination of knowledge, experience, information from literature, the Internet, and consultation with clinicians and further medical examinations and interventions played a pivotal role in solving most of the cases. This book is primarily designed for residents, general radiologists, and neuroradiologists, but it also serves as a valuable resource for less experienced colleagues or trainees who encounter specific cases. It encourages them to think creatively and outside the box to find the answers and enhance their diagnostic skills.

By emphasizing the significance of collaboration and providing a wealth of case examples, this book aims to enhance the understanding and diagnostic capabilities of healthcare professionals in the field of neuroradiology.
