Atlas of Clinical Cases on Brain Tumor Imaging

Yelda Özsunar has been a Professor of Radiology at Adnan Menderes University School of Medicine since 2008. She graduated from Gazi University School of Medicine, Ankara, in 1992 and completed her radiology residency at the same university in 1998. During her radiology education, she studied at the University of Copenhagen, and after taking her specialty, she worked at Yale University's Functional MR Imaging unit, New Haven and at Massachusettes General Hospital Neuroradiology Department Harvard Medical School, USA, as research fellow between 1999-2001. She is a European Board Certified Neuroradiologist and published over 75 international peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and has over 1500 international citations. She authored a popular science book called 'Universal Symphony' about electromagnetic spectrum and neuroscience. Utku Senol is Professor of Radiology at the Akdeniz University, School of Medicine, Antalya, Turkey, with full time faculty Chair at the Neuroradiology Department. He graduated in 1988 at the Faculty of Medicine at the Hacettepe University. After the residency in Radiology (1993) at the Akdeniz University, School of Medicine, he took his doctorate degree in Medical Informatics in 2013. He is member of several Turkish and International Societies, among them the European Society of Neuroradiology, the European Society of Radiology and the Radiological Society of North America, as well as Current President of the Turkish Medical Informatics Association and the TSR Imaging Informatics Working Group. His areas of interest are: Neuroradiology, MRI, Pediatric Neuroradiology, Medical Informatics, Imaging Informatics, Radiology Education, Radiology Management, Decision Support System, Evidence Based Medicine, and Radiology Physics.

"It appears clear that this book is more than only an Atlas of brain tumors. Being able to provide all the most important and characterizing neuroradiological data achievable in brain neoplasm using MRI (or CT), the publication has to be integrated with further information achievable with PET and hybrid imaging." (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 48, 2021)
