Imaging in Endocrine Disorders, edited by Drs. Buchfelder and Guaraldi, with 20 other authors, is a short, informative hardcover (150 pages in length). Most all chapters should be of interest to neuroradiologists because the material deals with structures we evaluate on a daily basis (pituitary, parasella, thyroid, parathyroid) or structures we note when there is spine imaging (adrenal, pancreas, paraspinal). Particularly well done is the chapter on MRI of the pituitary and pituitary tumors. The explanations are succinct and the images are beautiful. The material on the pituitary includes separate chapters on Intraoperative MR for adenomas and molecular imaging (eg, nuclear) of pituitary pathology. While the material on the thyroid is sufficient, the parathyroid section is skimpy and leaves out a number of imaging aspects of that organ and its pathology. Overall, the book gives a summary look at endocrine tumors; certainly the images are worth reviewing.
