Crossing the boundaries of classically delineated medical and surgical specialties including neurosurgery, neuroradiology, and neurology, Interventional Neuroradiology uses advanced neuroimaging combined with endovascular techniques to guide catheters and devices through blood vessels to access structures of the head, neck, and central nervous system. Through the combination of the latest imaging modalities and microdevice delivery, interventional neuroradiologic techniques are currently revolutionizing therapy of many of the most common neurological and neurosurgical disorders. These advances now provide noninvasive treatment for many disorders that were previously treated only with open surgical techniques, and make treatments possible for many patients who until recently would have had no acceptable therapeutic options. Interventional Neuroradiology: ·dedicates chapters to CT, MR, and ultrasonographic evaluation of cerebrovascular disease emphasizing current neuroimaging evaluation of disorders ·integrates current neuroimaging into a performance and decision making procedure ·focuses on clinical techniques and includes the most current technical modifications and devices used today ·is filled with scientifically concise illustrations, depicting surgical techniques, imaging, and other related procedures ·is written by a panel of today's leading experts in the field of neuroradiology
