MR-Neurografie – eine Einführung

Diese Arbeit stellt die MR-Neurografie mit ihrer Technik, den benötigten MR-Protokollen und einer strukturierten Befundung vor. Normalbefunde und pathologische Veränderungen werden systematisch gegenübergestellt. Fortgeschrittene Bildgebungstechniken wie die – noch nicht als klinischer Standard etablierte – Diffusionsbildgebung, speziell die Diffusionstensorbildgebung, werden ebenfalls kurz erklärt.

Schlüsselwörter
