Now in its 3rd edition with new and revised content! This book is the premier resource for interpretation of computed tomography (CT) for non-radiologists! This book provides a basic introduction to the interpretation of CT imaging for non-radiology medical professionals. The book covers the fundamentals of CT diagnosis, including the key findings to make diagnoses, relevant anatomy, pathology and current treatments. The authors also provide guidance on interpreting CT images, with chapters devoted to specific anatomical regions, such as the head, neck, chest, spine, abdomen, and pelvis. The book emphasizes the power of CT imaging to diagnose pathology which directs treatment planning. Overall, CT for the Non-Radiologist serves as the essential resource for medical professionals who may encounter CT images in their practice but do not have specialized training in radiology. This is the Essential CT Study Guide!

Joe Kamiya is a philosopher and scientist. He thinks both outside and inside the box and is a genuine, empathic, and kind soul. Those of us who are amongst his colleagues share an appreciation for his contributions to the field of EEG discovery, operant conditioning, and neuromodulation. As one of the forefathers of EEG biofeedback, he led the way for us to apply this intervention not only from a clinical view, but also from a personal and self-realizational perspective. This is both for us personally, and for helping our clients and patients. Joe is honored in many ways, one in particular is with the First-Person Science award presented by the Foundation for Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation Research (FNNR). This annual award is given to one who had applied first-person science in research, educational or clinical settings in the spirit of Joe.This book, Joe Kamiya: Thinking Inside the Box, will fill your heart with promise, optimism, and cheer. Joe is an endearing and charming man. Cynthia and Tom feel greatly enriched by this undertaking. They’re sure you’ll feel the same.The book is divided into 12 chapters, which present Joe’s chronological tale, from his original discoveries in Chicago to his work at UCSF in San Francisco. It also has many interesting and engaging talks between Tom, Cynthia, Joe and Joanne that will show what a scholar and compassionate person Joe is. The book has 2 forewords. One from his long-time colleague and friend, Jim Johnston, who helped him develop the first EEG recording devices and remains close to him and Joanne, even to this day. The other is Gary Kamiya, his son and Joanne’s stepson. Gary is an acclaimed writer and editor, and he shares a side of Joe that proves the man walks his talk and was a wonderful father and family man.Joe first found that one can discern EEG states and then found that one could actually regulate them. This was ground-breaking in the late 60s and the 70s. Without this contribution we would not have the foundational understanding of EEG operant conditioning from a first-person perspective.Cynthia Kerson and Tom Collura enjoyed many weekly phone meetings, talking with Joe and his wife, and partner in research, Joanne. they talked about their past, their discoveries, the present (at this writing, he is 94 years young), and their future hopes for our field, which is to consider teaching self-actualizing skills to children, possibly in the school setting, and to use neuromodulation as a tool for self-regulation for human improvement, in addition to for clinical uses.

The first edition of this book was a groundbreaking, research-based clinical guide to the neurofeedback treatment of ADHD. This second edition maintains this high standard and has been extensively revised and expanded to include new research, an extensive number of new images, tables, and graphs (some in full color!), and innovative clinical concepts and issues. The author provides an expert overview of ADHD in terms of large scale brain networks and dysfunctional mechanisms of attention, vigilance, self-regulation, and executive functions. The most common forms of neurofeedback to treat ADHD are detailed, including traditional amplitude neurofeedback, LORETA neurofeedback, and slow cortical potential neurofeedback.Neurofeedback is a psychophysiological treatment that normalizes the deviant brainwave activity. The author explains how neurofeedback for ADHD specifically strengthens "self-regulation" through improved balance within specific brain regions and networks; these gains in self-regulation abilities result in restored vigilance with enhanced metastability. In short, neurofeedback for ADHD is a non-drug treatment that fosters vigilance and self-regulation in ADHD.Werner Van den Bergh is neurologist and psychiatrist in Leuven, Belgium where he founded "Centrum Vigilant." Dr. Van den Bergh has specialized in a clinical-behavioral-neurological approach of ADHD since 1995, and he published several books and articles on this topic, including the first edition of this book entitled, "Neurofeedback and State Regulation in ADHD: A Therapy Without Medication." He teaches QEEG for the Flemish Psychiatric Association in Belgium, and he is the co-founder of the Flemish self-support association for adults with ADHD.
