3D Angiographic Atlas of Neurovascular Anatomy and Pathology

"...[R]eaders of this volume are about to embark on an amazing three-dimensional visual journey of the circulation of the brain and neck that very few years ago would have been impossible. From the perspective of a neurosurgeon, the appreciation of the vascular system afforded by these images is priceless. Not only does three-dimensional rotational angiography improve the accuracy of diagnosis, it considerably enhances our ability to optimize treatment for patients with challenging neurovascular disorders. Pre-operative planning is immeasurably improved by the ability to rotate these images in space to view the posterior regions of vessels that can even be difficult to view intra-operative ... The color anatomical illustrations in Chapter 2 and the three-dimensional reconstructions in the orientation insets on each page help readers to place the three-dimensional angiographic images of the vasculature in their anatomical context. The liberal use of conventional angiographic images also helps readers to appreciate the normal anatomy and its perturbation by pathology ...Having assembled a few neurosurgical atlases during my career, I can assure readers that the finished product is the culmination of hundreds and hundreds of hours spent acquiring and weeding through countless images to optimize the learning process...It is my pleasure and honor to recommend 3D Angiographic Atlas of Neurovascular Anatomy and Pathology to both students and masters of the neurosciences."
