Designed with the busy practitioner in mind, the third edition of ExpertDDx: Brain and Spine quickly guides you to the most likely differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical information. This superbly illustrated resource covers more than 275 of the top differential diagnoses across a broad spectrum of central nervous system diseases, presenting parallel groups of anatomically based differentials, generic imaging patterns, modality-specific findings, and clinically based differentials for each area. Now fully revised and up-to-date, this practical reference clearly guides you through useful, actionable differential diagnoses that lead to definitive findings in every area of the brain and spine. - Presents multiple clear, sharp, succinctly annotated images for each diagnosis; a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but significant; and brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues
- Reflects changes in 2021 WHO CNS tumor grading and nomenclature
- Contains newly identified entities, new differential diagnoses, and updated references
- Shows both typical and variant manifestations of each possible diagnosis
- Includes many new, high-quality images-more than 7,000 images in all, both in print and online
- Features updated genetic information now available in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)
- Separates adult and pediatric DDx lists for even faster reference
- Assists you in building either a definitive diagnosis from an imaging study or a carefully refined list of reasonable differential diagnoses
