Abstract

pp 890; 910 figures and tables. There is a vast selection of spine and spinal cord imaging textbooks written in English. This entry is a revised and translated published though contributors version of a work originally in France about 1989. Alit is an international effort with from both sides of the At- lantic, the majority of the authors are from France and the procedures have a subtle continental bias. The book has 24 chapters and a large subject index. The first three chapters, about 138 pages, are devoted to anatomy and embryology.
