Additionally, an increased utilization of imaging studies such as computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) has contributed to enhanced detection of incidental meningiomas. The book contains the most up-to-date information in all matters related to meningiomas with the most thorough coverage on the subject, and is written by multiple contributors - internationally recognized experts in their respective fields from Asia, USA and Europe.
