Magnetic Resonance of Myelination and Myelin Disorders

From the reviews of the third edition: "This book provides a comprehensive, lucid description of particularly challenging clinical entities. With the third edition, the authors have greatly broadened an excellent reference; I would recommend this book for any practicing radiologist faced with challenging MR examinations of the adult or pediatric brain." (Doody's Publisher's Club; Reviewer: Edward H. Herskovits, University of Pennsylvania Medical Center). "What a fabulous book! ... The contents describe in great depth all white matter disorders known today, both adult and paediatric, both inherited and acquired. ... This is most definitely a reference book - a terrific reference book. ... It is highly recommended - a must for neuroradiology/neurology, both adult and paediatric. Both departments are incomplete without it. I have never so strongly endorsed the purchase of a book. I am both grateful and delighted to have had the opportunity to review it." (Shelley Renowden, Journal of Neurology, Vol. 253, 2006)
