Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This MRI atlas of findings in multiple sclerosis provides concise 1-2 page descriptions of MRI sequences and concepts followed by illustrative case examples. … The authors … have written this book at a level appropriate for neurologists, general radiologists, or neuroradiology fellows. … Overall, this is a worthy addition to the libraries of clinicians or radiologists interested in MS. It is up to date and relevant, and I know of no similar books. … recommended." (James Milburn, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2008)
