Description 1 online resource (356 pages) : color illustrations, photographs Series Books@Ovid Contents In comparison to prior wars, more troops are surviving -- Blast injury basics -- The weapons of war and terrorism -- How does combat TBI differ from civilian TBI? 12 lessons -- Transferring lessons to the home front Summary This is a single-authored book written by a world-class neuroradiologist with extensive experience in traumatic brain injury (TBI). It features six graphic-intense chapters depicting and expounding upon the complexity of TBI. Culled from nearly three decades of studying civilian TBI and five years of intensive study of TBI sustained from combat, terrorism, and natural disasters, this work is an exhaustive and innovative authority on the current approaches and applications of civilian and combat TBI. The text is sectored into six chapters based on pathophysiology, each augmented with numerous images and illustrations. The book gives special attention to neuroimaging, but is reinforced with relevant clinical correlation. This monograph is unique because it is first in class as an omnibus for the radiologist, neurologist, neurosurgeon, maxillofacial surgeon, emergency physician, pediatrician, ophthalmologist, and the rehabilitation team Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Brain damage -- Patients -- Rehabilitation Head -- Wounds and injuries.
