Description:Presenting a comprehensive and up-to-date review, this book discusses the broad topic of stroke, emphasizing the most recent standards of care and the newest trials. Each of the 17 chapters includes well presented and organized tables and pictures both in color and black and white that illustrate novel uses of neuroimaging and nuclear medicine in diagnosing and determining the extent of damage in stroke. The bibliography at the end of each chapter is very complete and up to date. This authoritative review on diagnosis and both acute and more chronic management of stroke is most definitely a worthy contribution to the field and will find a place in many hospital or personal libraries.
