In the Name of Love and Family This book could not have been completed without the continuing support of my wife, Isabelle, who, as a radiologist herself, not only understood my end- vours to complete this work, but who was also my most loyal supporter. As the mother of our three daughters, Alexia, Olivia and Félicia, she is also the corn- stone of our wonderful family and I wish to dedicate this book to these four women in my life. Edegem Johan W. M. Van Goethem This book is dedicated ? rst and foremost to the ones I love: Marleen, my wife, and our children Vincent, Isabel, Liesa and Marie. Our children, they are the future. My thanks go to Paul and Johan, not only for teaching me neuroradiology, but primarily for their friendship. We have been working together for many years now in the spirit of the three musketeers (Les Trois Mousquetaires, a novel by Alexandre Dumas), inseparable men who chant the motto "One for all, and all for one".
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
"A comprehensive textbook overview of diagnostic spinal imaging, replete with many illustrations and tables . . appropriate for the radiologist in training, as well as the depth and breadth of coverage valued in a day-to-day reference for the practicing radiologist. It will presumably be kept close by the PACS station by its owners. . I also believe that neurosurgeons, neurologists, and rheumatologists will find the quality of the discussions and illustrations of spinal disease most useful as well." (American Journal of Neuroradiology, January, 2008)
"The volume is divided into 10 general topic areas. These are congenital malformations, pediatric spine, spinal biomechanics, degenerative disease, trauma, the postoperative spine, tumors, bone marrow disorders, infection and inflammation, and the sacrum. . All the same, this is a well-written, well-illustrated text that includes information . in one volume that otherwise would be dispersed in various texts. . I congratulate the authors and editors on a fine effort that will be a welcome addition for specialists in spine imaging." (David S. Martin, Radiology, Vol. 249 (1), October, 2008)
