This book is devoted solely to the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlations of pathophysiology. It is not really an atlas but is comprised of ample text and many figures. There are 10 chapters that highlight most of the important areas in neuroradiology, including tumors, infarction, demyelinating diseases, hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, and the developing brain, as well as an introduction to the physics of MRI, newer imaging techniques, flow phenomena, and the uses of gadolinium. The figures and their legends are placed at the end of each chapter and shuffling between the text and the illustrations tends to be a nuisance. Most of the figures are of good quality, but some images are of inferior resolution. The figures illustrate the subjects in the text nicely with arrows used appropriately to guide the reader.
This book does not function as a comprehensive text. Rather, it presents a limited number of subjects in detail. Nevertheless, it can serve as a readable introduction into MRI of the brain. It will be particularly useful to those who wish to focus on learning the principles of MRI. It can be read rapidly by practicing radiologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons.
