Mri Atlas of Ms Lesions

About this atlas

• Offers 218 pictures of typical and atypical MS lesions in different sequences and locations
• Teaching part in each image is included
• CD-ROM for exercising is enclosed

MRI has become the main paraclinical test in the diagnosis and management of multiple sclerosis. We have demonstrated more than 400 pictures of different typical and atypical MS lesions in this atlas. Each image has a teaching point. New diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis are discussed and the book is supported by a teaching DVD where the reader can see MS lesions in different slices and sequences.

Written for:

• Neuroradiologists, neurologists, internists, rheumatologists, psychiatrists, ophtalmologists

Keywords:

• Demyelinating Disease
• MS Imaging
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging
