Foreword

Medical imaging of the spine is among the most frequently performed diagnostic stud-

ies due to the high incidence of the very common clinical problem of acute or chronic

back pain.

Radiologists have a whole range of diagnostic modalities at their disposal to study

spine pathology. It is of the utmost importance that they be familiar with the advantages

and disadvantages of these different diagnostic techniques and are able to apply, in each

clinical situation, the method that is most likely to optimally solve the clinical problem

and indicate its correct management.

Many authors, all well known specialists in their eld, have contributed to this book

which offers a very complete update of our current insights into and knowledge of

common and less common disorders of the spine and the spinal cord.

The illustrations are numerous, highly informative and of impeccable technical

quality.

I am very much indebted to the editors, J.W.M. Van Goethem, L. van den Hauwe and

P.M. Parizel, for this superb volume which very much enriches the Medical Radiology

series. It will be of great interest to radiologists in training, certi ed radiologists, as well

as to neurosurgeons, neurologists and rheumatologists.
