Study of the cellular components of the nervous system has become an important diagnostic procedure in patients with many neurological diseases. The technique is increasingly used in neuropathology and cytology laboratories worldwide. This book is a comprehensive colour atlas illustrating specimens of cerebrospinal fluid and needle aspirates from a spectrum of neoplastic diseases. Normal cellular structure, cytopreparation and contaminants are also covered. The book contains very high quality illustrations, the majority in colour.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Will certainly find a place in many neuropathological laboratories to assist in everyday reporting of cytological specimens.
Cell Death and Differentiation
Pages and pages of beautiful illustrations whose details equal those one can see through a top quality microscope....The idea of reminding the pathologist of the macroscopic and histological features of a lesion before illustrating its cytology should be commended as it contributes to give a comprehensive picture of each topic
Cell Death and Differentiation
highly recommended to the practising neuropathologist or cytopathologist as the only high quality and comprehensive reference for everyday diagnostic use...a superb and unrivalled volume which can be recommended to clinicians as well as pathologists.
