Clinical imaging of the backbone is without doubt one of the most often played diagnostic studiesdue to the excessive prevalence of the quite common medical challenge of acute or chronicback pain.Radiologists have a complete diversity of diagnostic modalities at their disposal to studyspine pathology. it's of the maximum significance that they be accustomed to the advantagesand risks of those various diagnostic options and may be able to practice, in eachclinical scenario, the tactic that's probably to optimally clear up the medical problemand point out its right management.Many authors, all renowned experts of their fi eld, have contributed to this bookwhich bargains a really entire replace of our present insights into and information ofcommon and not more universal issues of the backbone and the spinal cord.The illustrations are a number of, hugely informative and of impeccable technicalquality.I am greatly indebted to the editors, J.W.M. Van Goethem, L. van den Hauwe andP.M. Parizel, for this fabulous quantity which greatly enriches the scientific Radiologyseries. it is going to be of significant curiosity to radiologists in education, certifi ed radiologists, as wellas to neurosurgeons, neurologists and rheumatologists.

2003). Line-scan diffusion imaging was found to be a feasible technique for pediatric patients (Robertson et al. 2000). Spinal cord fMRI might have relevance for preoperative evaluation of tumors and to evaluate pain processing, although currently there are no clinical indications (Stracke et al. 2004). There are still major problems and limitations for spinal fMRI. The area of interest with expected neuronal activity is very small and very high spatial resolution and signal to noise ratio (SNR) are required.
Following bacteremia, the infection begins within the disc and extends to the adjacent endplate b Spinal tumors: b Intramedullary – Majority in children are astrocytoma followed by ependymoma – Hemangioblastoma, oligodendroglioma, and paraganglioma are rare in children b Intradural extramedullary – Less frequent in children: meningioma, nerve sheath tumors – More frequent in children: dermoids b Extradural – More frequent in children: osteosarcoma The Spine and Spinal Cord in Children helpful for imaging evaluation and surgical planning.
