Spinal Cord Lesions

Professor of Diagnostic Imaging and Chief of Neuroradiology at Yale University School of Medicine, Gordon Sze, MD reviews the full range of symptoms and signs of disorders affecting the spinal cord: neoplasms and postradiation myelopathy, infections, trauma, vascular lesions, demyelinating diseases, and syringohydromyelia. He further demonstrates the difficulty of clinical differentiation between diverse types of cord lesions due to the similarity of symptoms. Lastly, he describes in depth the value of advanced imaging studies for detecting and diagnosing spinal cord lesions. Written by one of the most widely published authors in the field of diagnostic imaging, this book comprises a necessary addition to every orthopedic surgeon’s library.
