A multidisciplinary guide to managing incidental findings in
neuroimaging from top experts Incidental Findings in Neuroimaging
and Their Management: A Guide for Radiologists, Neurosurgeons, and
Neurologists presents a streamlined, case-based approach to 50
commonly seen incidental findings in neuroimaging. Edited by Kaye
Westmark, Dong Kim, and Roy Riascos, this unique book provides the
necessary knowledge to manage significant unexpected findings-from
identification and analysis to efficacious interventions. With
collaborative contributions from neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons,
neurologists, otolaryngologists, body and musculoskeletal imaging
experts, endocrinologists and hematologists/oncologists, this
resource encompasses a wide spectrum of incidental findings.
Organized by six sections, the book starts with normal variants
that are extremely important to recognize in order to avoid
unwarranted additional testing and unnecessary stress for the
patient. Subsequent sections detail abnormalities that require
extensive clinical evaluation in order to determine ideal
management. These include incidental findings for extracranial,
extra-spinal, intracranial, and intraspinal imaging. The final
section outlines CT and MR imaging artifacts that are particularly
concerning because they may mimic more dangerous pathologies while
degrading imaging quality and obscuring real findings. Key Features
Key findings and differential diagnosis are listed for each entity
Diagnostic decision trees present algorithms in an
easy-to-understand manner Artifact analyses explain the technical
reason for each artifact and what can be done to mitigate effects
Clinical Q&As connect the radiologic diagnosis with actual case
management decisions and provide in-depth background information
that is applicable to management in various scenarios This
essential guide will help trainee and practicing neuroradiologists,
neurosurgeons, and neurologists interpret incidental spine and
brain imaging findings and make clinically informed, complex
treatment decisions. This book includes complimentary access to a
digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
