Coverage encompasses all categories of head injury--skull and scalp trauma; extraaxial collections; concussion, contusion, and hematoma; brainstem injury; brain herniation; vascular injury; pediatric head injury; maxillofacial trauma; and posttraumatic sequelae. The outstanding selection of over 1,000 illustrations includes scans made on state-of-the-art equipment, drawings by a noted medical illustrator, and instructive line diagrams.The author demonstrates and describes the characteristic imaging appearance of each injury and thoroughly explains why the injury appears that way on a scan. Relevant clinical correlations are included. The book also provides extensive references to the literature.
