by Martin Wiesmann (Author)

Introduction:
The “Atlas Klinische Neuroradiologie – Wirbelsäule und Spinalkanal” is an essential guide for radiologists, neurosurgeons, and neurologists who need to understand the anatomy and pathology of the spinal cord and column. The Atlas is written in German and covers everything from the clinical anatomy of the spine to rare and complex pathologies. The book is particularly useful to radiologists who perform imaging of the spine and spinal cord and need a reference tool to understand the diseases they encounter.

Analysis:
The Atlas is divided into several chapters that cover diverse topics related to spinal imaging. The initial chapters provide a detailed guide to the anatomy of the spine and its relationship to the spinal cord. The illustrations in these chapters are exceptional, and the text is well written and easily understood. The subsequent chapters delve into the various pathologies that can affect the spine and spinal cord. These chapters include topics such as tumors, cysts, degenerative diseases, and injuries.

One of the essential features of this Atlas is the detailed description of the morphology of the diseases through different imaging modalities and sequences. The quality of the reference images is outstanding, and the description of the pathology is concise, making it easy for radiologists to interpret. The pathology descriptions are comprehensive, and the book covers all aspects of spinal pathology thoroughly.

One of the significant updates in the second edition is the inclusion of more than 40 new diseases. The authors cover rare diseases such as Motoneuron disease, Amyloidosis, vertebral Gout, and Leukemia, among others. These new diseases ensure that the Atlas remains up to date and relevant to the current practice.

Key Features:
• Detailed and comprehensive coverage of spinal anatomy and pathology.
• Over 1,000 illustrations, including MRI, CT scans, and X-rays.
• Descriptions of over 40 new diseases.
• Easy to navigate, stichwortartiger text.
• Differencialdiagnose considerations.

Target Audience:
This Atlas is primarily intended for radiologists who specialize in spinal imaging and investigate diseases that affect the spine and the spinal cord. However, other specialists such as neurosurgeons and neurologists may also find this Atlas beneficial in clinical practice. The Atlas is also ideal for medical students who are preparing for the specialty exam.

Conclusion:
The “Atlas Klinische Neuroradiologie – Wirbelsäule und Spinalkanal” is the most comprehensive and detailed guide to spine imaging currently available. The new edition enhances the previous edition by including more than 40 new pathologies. The exceptional anatomical illustrations and the comprehensive descriptions of the pathologies make this Atlas an essential tool for radiologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons involved in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders.
