Neuroimaging plays a central role in the initial diagnosis and subsequent monitoring of multimodal therapies offered to patients with glioblastoma – the most malignant type of brain cancer. The authors present a comprehensive description of current state-of-the-art clinical neuroimaging for glioblastoma. They cover the basic concepts and most recent applications of clinical structural neuroimaging, as well as the latest innovations and up-and-coming techniques for functional imaging of glioblastoma patients. Few comprehensive books are available in this challenging field of clinical medicine. The co-editors are experienced academic neuroradiologists with an active interest in clinical imaging and research of glioblastoma, all within a vibrant clinical environment at Stanford University where the latest innovations in glioblastoma imaging and treatment are being developed. In compiling this book, the co-editors have called upon many of the world’s best clinical and basic neuroscientists specializing in the management of patients with this malignancy, for their expert input on the latest imaging developments and applicable research into glioblastoma. This book is intended for neuroradiologists, neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiation therapists, and other physicians and scientists engaged in the study and clinical management of patients with glioblastoma. It should also serve as a unique educational and research resource for students and more experienced practitioners alike within this rapidly evolving field.

The quintessential case-based review to prep for and master ABR examsThe American Board of Radiology Core, Certifying, and Neuroradiology Subspecialty Exams test an individual's knowledge and understanding of anatomy, pathophysiology, and physics concepts important in diagnostic imaging. For many residents, fellows, and practicing radiologists, preparation for these exams involves several months to years of reading text, interpreting images, and answering countless questions. Neuroradiology Q&A for the Radiology Boards, edited by neuroradiologist Michael Iv, features contributions from other academic neuroradiologists at Stanford University who are passionate about education and paying it forward. The primary goals of this book are to help current and future generations of radiologists ace the neuroradiology section of these exams and improve their clinical skills.The reader-friendly compilation of cases, questions, and answers reflects the invaluable insights of neuroradiologists who recently experienced the arduous journey of studying and sitting for the ABR exams. The book consists of a collection of 100 "standard difficulty" and "challenging" cases organized by the categories of brain, spine, and head and neck. A total 70 cases covering a wide range of brain conditions and diseases include 20 challenging cases. Spine and head and neck pathologies are represented by 15 cases each, both of which include 5 challenging cases. All of the cases illustrate specific pathologies and teaching points likely to be encountered on the exams and in the reading room.Key Features Cases encompass every area of neuroradiology and cover the full age spectrumConsistently formatted cases feature two or three high-yield images, followed by three multiple choice questions that assess comprehension of imaging diagnosis, histopathology, and managementDetailed explanations for correct and incorrect answers enhance understanding and acquisition of knowledge This must-have study guide will help radiologists prepare for and ace the Core, Certifying, and/or Neuroradiology Subspecialty ABR exams and improve their clinical knowledge, which ultimately leads to improved patient care.This print book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
