About this book
Encouraged by the success of the Italian editions, the Authors have decided to publish an English version taking into account the latest technical and methodological advances and the consequent new acquisitions in clinical practice. The contribution of Professor R. Jinkins has been essential to carry out both these tasks. The resulting work is an up-to-date technical tool that preserves its original aim of contributing to the training of those radiologists who work in emergency departments. We hope that this revised and extended English version will have the same success as the pre- ous Italian editions, thereby confirming the validity of our initiative. The work of all the friends and colleagues who have contributed to the making of this book is gratefully acknowledged. Tommaso Scarabino Ugo Salvolini CONTENTS I.

Reviews
From the reviews:
..."This book is profusely illustrated with excellent scans and some nice diagrams. It has been successful in its Italian editions and I think deserves a wider readership than just doctors in Italy. The chapters are extensively referenced and up-to-date and the book read profitable by many practising radiologists who need to brush up on their knowledge of emergency neuroimaging. "
RAD Magazin, May 2006, pp. 5
"This book aims at offering an up-to-date technical tool directed at neuroradiologists and emergency radiologists … . this manual is devoted to the role of medical imaging for the diagnosis of neurological emergencies … . The presentation of the book is pleasant, clear, and pedagogical. It is easy to use. … it is well documented. The illustrations are numerous, well selected, of good size, and high quality."
