This comprehensive atlas depicts the entire range of normal variants seen on neuroradiologic images, helping radiologists 'decode' appearances that can be misdiagnosed as pathology. The book features nearly 900 radiographs that show normal variants seen on plain film, MR, CT, and angiographic images, plus accompanying line drawings that demonstrate normal angiogram patterns and other pertinent anatomy. Dr. Jinkins, a well-known neuroradiologist, takes a multimodality approach to the cranium, sella, orbit, face, sinuses, neck, and spine. In an easy-to-follow format, he provides the information radiologists need to identify unusual features...assess their significance...avoid unnecessary, expensive studies...and minimize exposure and risk.

Featuring full colour cross-sectional images from The Visible Human Project, this new atlas is co-authored by a radiologists and includes orientation drawings with corresponding MRIs and CTs.
