The structure of the normal brain and its imaging appearance -- The general appearance of edema and hemorrhage on CT, MR and US (including a general introduction to CT, MR and US scanning) -- The basics of contrast and its role in dating -- How the imaging appearance of edema and hemorrhage change over time on CT, MR, and US: dynamic (acute) dating -- Patterns of parenchymal injury: pattern (chronic) dating -- Principles of dynamic dating in the medical legal setting -- Principles of pattern dating in the medical legal setting -- Therefore, what can be said based on the images, and what can't be said based on the images -- The root causes of uncertainty in dating neurologic events based on imaging findings |
| Summary |
Dating Neurological Injury: A Forensic Guide for Radiologists, Other Expert Medical Witnesses, and Attorneys presents a unique way to approach the dating of neurological injury as imaged by modern computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) and ultrasound (US). Chapters are presented in a logical progression beginning with the general appearance of normal brain and progressing to the way abnormalities manifest themselves. The emphasis in these discussions is on the appearance of edema and of hemorrhage, as these two findings are the brain's most common response to injury. This volume presents in a systematic fashion the principles involved in the interpretation of images of the central nervous system specifically in a medical-legal setting where concern exists about the occurrence and timing of an injury. Dating Neurological Injury: A Forensic Guide for Radiologists, Other Expert Medical Witnesses, and Attorneys is a welcome addition to institutional, medical, and legal libraries, and to the personal libraries of malpractice defense and plaintiff lawyers and physicians in the neurosciences (neurosurgery, neurology, neuropathology, and neuroradiology) involved in medical-legal issues |
