About

A modern introduction to the field, Neuroimaging of the Auditory and Vestibular Systems: A Clinician’s Guide is a comprehensive resource for audiologists, neurologists, radiologists, otolaryngologists, and neurotologists. This text equips clinicians with the knowledge of imaging modalities used to evaluate conditions affecting the auditory and vestibular systems, promoting efficient and effective patient care.

Clinicians will be provided with information about the anatomy and physiology of the auditory and vestibular systems, as well as the fundamental concepts, indications, and utility of neuroimaging of this region to distinguish pathology from normal anatomy. This text also systematically describes common pathologic conditions found in the ear and lateral skull base beginning with the external ear and ending with the central nervous system. Each condition is described in terms of an overview, medical evaluation, audiological evaluation, imaging modalities and findings, and treatment considerations. Through the study of each of these anatomy-themed chapters of the auditory and vestibular system, clinicians can gain competence and confidence in differentiating pathologic conditions that may present in similar locations with similar symptoms yet have different imaging finding. The integration of transdisciplinary perspectives into the text makes this a special addition to the market.

Written by a team of distinguished professionals, every chapter includes relevant and up-to-date material on the use of neuroimaging modalities to optimize auditory and vestibular health care, and is widely applicable to diverse clinicians in the field. The emphasis on the importance of incorporating and interpreting neuroimaging in clinical practice can enhance collaborative communication and patient care.

Key Features

Anatomy-based description of common pathologic conditions
Comprehensive depiction of pathology through detailed complementary MRI and CT images
Presentation of audiological findings that correlate with clinical scenarios
Foreword written by Frank E. Musiek, PhD, CCC-A (Ret.)
Transdisciplinary and multi-institutional contributions from experts in audiology, otolaryngology, neurotology, and radiology

From the Foreword

"Graduate students in audiology, the neurosciences, as well as residents in otolaryngology, neurology and neurosurgery and those professionals practicing in these areas will find this text informative, relevant, and useable. I can see this book becoming the “go to” resource and guide for those professionals in the clinical setting serving patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems."
