The Whole Brain Atlas On CD-ROM (For Windows & Macintosh)

This multimedia CD-ROM is a comprehensive and interactive visual guide to normal brain anatomy and brain pathology as seen on tomographic images. The CD-ROM contains over 13,000 MRI, PET, SPECT, and CT images and video clips of normal brain structures and pathologic changes in cerebrovascular, neoplastic, degenerative, and inflammatory/infectious diseases. Thirty illustrative cases integrate whole-brain imaging data sets from real patients with clinical information. Unique software navigational tools enable the user to / compare normal and abnormal images / view transaxial slices of the brain / superimpose images in different modalities / take guided video "tours" of brain structures and disease states. An Atlas of Normal Structure and Blood Flow depicts 100 major brain structures. Complete demonstrations of vascular anatomy and normal aging are also included. The 30 cases consist of full volume data sets in one or several imaging modalities. Some cases include images acquired at several points in the course of a disease. The images can be superimposed to allow direct spatial and temporal comparisons between image types and between points in time. Windows / Macintosh CompatibleJ.
