:
|
The overall incidence of meningiomas, particularly in the developed countries, is rising due to a growing size of the aging population. 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.
