Volume 3 in the Series: The Johns Hopkins Atlases of Pathology AUTHORS: Fausto J. Rodriguez and Charles G. Eberhart SERIES EDITORS: Toby C. Cornish, Norman J. Barker, and Ralph H. Hruban The Johns Hopkins Atlas of Surgical Neuropathology is the third teaching app in our series from the Johns Hopkins University Department of Pathology.

The image atlas contains over 800 high resolution color images and MRIs with captions authored by a leading expert and covers 174 diagnostic entities. The teaching algorithm covers the diagnosis of diffuse gliomas and employs the updated 2016 WHO criteria for classification of tumors of the central nervous system. The role of molecular data in diagnosis is incorporated into the algorithm using a practical approach.
