DIFFUSION WEIGHTED AND DIFFUSION TENSOR IMAGING...

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an integral part of routine neuroimaging  used nearly
universally in brain MRIs  and more recently for the spine  spinal cord  and head and neck. DWI
provides clinically relevant information on conditions including stroke  infection  and
neoplasms. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a powerful  newer technique with the potential for
multiple protocols  including the diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury and psychiatric
disorders. Written by leading authorities in neuroradiology and radiology  Diffusion Weighted
and Diffusion Tensor Imaging: A Clinical Guide provides key points and summaries on the
concepts and applications required for proper implementation and interpretation of DWI and DTI.
Key Features: - More than 600 high-quality illustrations - Protocols and applications from
early childhood to older adulthood - Methods to differentiate normal versus pathological states
- Brain edema pathophysiology and use of DWI to distinguish between cytotoxic and vasogenic
edema - Utilization of DWI and DTI to diagnose trauma  white matter disease  tumors 
cerebrovascular disease  and head  neck  and spine disorders This concise handbook is an
invaluable resource for neuro-radiologists and radiologists  as well as fellows and residents
in these disciplines. With the expanding use of these procedures  neuroscientists  neurologists
neurosurgeons  and psychiatrists will also find it indispensable.
