3D Angiographic Atlas of Neurovascular Anatomy and Pathology Book

The first atlas to present neurovascular information and images based on catheter 3D rotational angiographic studies. The spectacular 3D images are extensively labeled and juxtaposed with conventional 2D angiograms for orientation and comparison. Anatomical color drawings and concise descriptions of the major intracranial vascular territories further enhance understanding of the complex cerebral vasculature. This atlas is an indispensable reference for anyone seeking a fuller appreciation of intracranial and cervical anatomy and pathology, regardless of specialty.
From the foreword by Robert F. Spetzler, M.D. : "[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...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. Preoperative 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 intraoperatively...The color anatomical illustrations in the first chapter 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."
