Foreword
One could consider the skin as the last great unexplored frontier in neuroimaging. Up until now, most MRI of the skin and its disorders has been confined to the neurocutaneous syndromes. When one looks carefully at the literature on this topic, it is easy to realize that although the lesions in the central nervous system have received considerable attention those in the skin have not. My first reaction (and I am sure that many radiologists have the same one) is, why look at the skin lesions when they are obvious to physical examination? Well, dermatology is similar to radiology in that personal experience plays a huge role in reaching a correct diagnosis and in that many lesions look similar. In this beautifully illustrated and highly original book, Ginat and his coauthors provide radiologists with a concise but complete overview of skin lesions, many unknown to imagers. Because skin lesions occur throughout the body, this book should be helpful to all subspecialties of radiology not only neuroradiology. Appropriately, this book covers all of the traditional phakomatoses but also includes imaging of benign and malignant tumors. All entries contain clinical photographs, histology, and
