Spinal Imaging : Diagnostic Imaging of the Spine and Spinal Cord

In the Name of Love and Family This book could not have been completed without the continuing support of my wife, Isabelle, who, as a radiologist herself, not only understood my end- vours to complete this work, but who was also my most loyal supporter. As the mother of our three daughters, Alexia, Olivia and Felicia, she is also the corn- stone of our wonderful family and I wish to dedicate this book to these four women in my life. Edegem Johan W. M. Van Goethem This book is dedicated ? rst and foremost to the ones I love: Marleen, my wife, and our children Vincent, Isabel, Liesa and Marie. Our children, they are the future. My thanks go to Paul and Johan, not only for teaching me neuroradiology, but primarily for their friendship. We have been working together for many years now in the spirit of the three musketeers (Les Trois Mousquetaires, a novel by Alexandre Dumas), inseparable men who chant the motto "e;One for all, and all for one"e;.
