Foreword
Radiologists and clinicians caring for patients have a plethora of references that provide educational tools for imaging studies illustrating neuroanatomy and many forms of neurological and neurosurgical disease processes. However, even those who are well versed in interpreting imaging examinations often find assessment of imaging studies in the postoperative patient difficult. Information on imaging findings in the postoperative patient is indeed available but, in scattered locations, making ready access for radiologists difficult.
One realm in which radiologists must constantly update their knowledge is that of imaging devices: their composition and appearance, their correct location, and their proper functioning. Such devices are numerous and have many different appearances. Increasingly, radiologists are requested to interpret imaging studies designed to assess the status of devices used in care of patients. These studies are intended to answer questions such as “Is the device properly positioned?” “Is the device intact?” and “Is the device functioning properly?” Resources that can provide information relevant to answering such questions are scarce and cannot generally be found at a single source of information.
Another area in which radiologists need to regularly update their knowledge base is the appearance of the postoperative surgical site. New surgical techniques continually come into use; they may present a baffling appearance to radiologists unfamiliar with their details. As a result, the potential for incorrect reporting of imaging findings is substantial. An up-to-date compendium of normal surgical findings for a given procedure would be of great use. Yet another potential source of consternation for those interpreting postoperative imaging studies is assessing complications of surgical procedures. It is easy to understand how the lack of familiarity of normal and abnormal appearances of postoperative conditions could lead to one being mistaken for the other.
Thus, a need exists for a comprehensive source of information on these topics. In Atlas of Postsurgical Neuroradiology, Drs. Ginat and Westesson ably address that need by providing an in-depth and comprehensive explanation of standard postoperative findings as well as a wide array of appearances of therapeutic devices. The assembly of information on these topics in a single reference will, no doubt, prove valuable to radiologists and physicians involved in postsurgical care alike.

Preface
In addition to updating the text according to progress that has occurred in the relevant fields since the 5 years that have ensued since the first edition of Atlas of Postsurgical Neuroradiology, this second edition contains more useful and interesting topics. Indeed, this book includes many new images and sections, such as robot surgery and intraoperative MRI, as well as additional authors.
