Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy by Ruben Kuzniecky,Graeme D. Jackson Pdf

Remarkable advances in imaging have increased the importance of MRI for diagnostic, treatment and management of epilepsy. Neuroimaging of patients with epilepsy no longer simply deals with the technology and interpretation of images but also with issues of brain metabolism, energetics, cognition and brain dysfunction. The first edition of Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy came into clinical practice in 1995 with a revolutionary idea; that is, MR is as important as EEG in the clinical management of patients with epilepsy. The second edition of Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy, the only comprehensive text in the field of epilepsy neuroimaging, reviews fundamental concepts and new advances in MR technology, computerized analysis, MR spectroscopy, DWI and other neuroimaging techniques such as PET, SPECT and MEG application to the study of patients with epileptic disorders. *Provides a crucial update of recent advances in imaging techniques *Timely publication as subject of neuroimaging is a very "hot" area in both clinical epilepsy and basic neuroscience research *Editors are well-respected in this field

Magnetic Resonance Scanning and Epilepsy by Simon D. Shorvon,D.R. Fish,F. Andermann,G.M. Bydder,H. Stefan Pdf

It was only in 1980 that the first recognisable magnetic resonance images of the human brain were published, by Moore and Holland from Nottingham University in England. There then followed a number of clinical trials of brain imaging, the most notable from the Hammersmith Hospital in London using a system designed by EMI, the original manufacturers of the first CT machines. A true revolution in medicine has ensued; in only a few years there are thousands of scanning units, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has assumed a central importance in medical investigation. It is an extraordinary fact that within a few years of development, the esoteric physics of nuclear spin, angular momentum, and magnetic vector precession were harnessed to provide exquisite images of living anatomy; modem science has no greater tribute. That indisputable king of neurology and the oldest of recorded conditions, epilepsy, has not been untouched by the new technology; indeed, it is our view that the introduction of MRI of electroencephalography (EEG) in the late has been as important to epilepsy as was that 1930s. Now, for the first time, the structural and aetiological basis of the condition is susceptible to thorough investigation, and MRI can provide structural detail to parallel the functional detail of EEG. MRI has the same potential as had EEG over 50 years ago, to provide a new level of understanding of the basic mechanisms, the clinical features and the treatment of epilepsy.

MRI in Epilepsy by Horst Urbach Pdf

MRI can play an important role in identifying and localizing epileptogenic foci. This book aims to provide the clinical and imaging information required in order to decide whether an MRI scan is appropriate and whether it is likely to be sufficient to detect a lesion. The first part of the book presents background information on epilepsy patients and explains how to perform an MRI examination. Detailed attention is paid to functional MRI and post-processing, and the examination of subcategories of patients is also discussed. The second part of the book then documents the MRI findings obtained in the full range of epileptogenic lesions with the aid of high-quality images. Throughout, emphasis is placed on guiding the reader in the correct interpretation of the imaging findings. Both radiologists and referring physicians will find this book to be an indispensable guide to the optimal use of MRI in epilepsy.

Brain Imaging in Epilepsy by David D. Maudgil Pdf

Recent advances in functional neuroimaging have greatly enhanced our understanding of brain functionality through the ability to visualize brain processes at work. Brain Imaging in Epilepsy provides an overview of the techniques that have been developed, including positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Relevant features of the basic neuroscience of epilepsy are reviewed, and the application of these techniques in diagnosing, treating and developing new treatments for epilepsy is discussed. This book will prove fascinating to a large audience from practicing neurologists and radiologists, to junior doctors and students of medicine, neuroscience and medical physics.

Neuroimaging in Epilepsy by Gregory Cascino,Clifford R. Jack Pdf

·A practical and well-illustrated text on the techniques and procedures used in imaging in patients with epilepsy · There exists no other textbook devoted solely to this topic The value of neuroimaging in patients with seizures is great. Patients with partial or focal (restricted to a certain portion of the brain) require CT or MRI scans to determine whether a brain lesion is associated with the epilepsy; PET scans help to elucidate some of the metabolic changes that occur during seizures. Evaluation and management of patients with epilepsy now routinely incorporate imaging techniques, whether or not the patient undergoes surgery. Drs. Cascino and Jack have edited a highly illustrated and authoritative text on the topic. They have enlisted internationally known authors from the US, Canada, England, and Australia. In addition, the book is being published under the auspices of the Mayo Foundation.

Imaging of Epilepsy by John M. Stern,Noriko Salamon Pdf

This clinically-oriented collection of brain imaging results provides a unique and helpful approach to the epilepsy evaluation. The atlas is divided into sections according to general clinical categories with each category including a collection of clinical examples that span the category. Each example includes images across the relevant imaging modalities that relate to one patient, whose history accompanies the images. This case-based organization with clinical history and multiple images offers a complete visual understanding of the imaging findings and the corresponding relationship of each finding to the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome. Images for the book are from the UCLA Seizure Disorder Center, which is a referral center that serves a large outpatient epilepsy patient population and performs approximately 500 inpatient epilepsy evaluations annually. Comprehensive and richly illustrated, this book will serve as a convenient resource in neurologic and radiologic practice, and useful for board exam review.
