This practicalminded text helps the radiologist and the clinician understanddiffusionweighted MR imaging. The books 15 chapters range from basicprinciples to interpretation of diffusionweighted MR imaging and specificdisease. In this second edition diffusion tensor imaging fractionalanisotropy color map and fiber tractography is covered and a new chapter onDiffusionWeighted Imaging of Scalp and Skull Lesions is included. Thevolume is updated by newly added cases acompanied by radiological andpathological images along with the most recent references. It is aimed at allthose who are involved in neuroimaging including residents fellows staffas well as neurologists and neurosurgeons. Diffusionweighted MR imaging iswidely accepted as a means to identify acute infarction but also todifferentiate many other pathologic conditions. Understanding diffusionweighted imaging is important for radiologists neurologists neurosurgeons aswell as radiology technologists.
