Imaging plays an integral role in the diagnosis and intervention of debilitating often fatal
vascular diseases of the brain such as ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke aneurysms and
arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Written by a world renowned neuro-radiologist and pioneer
in the early adoption of magnetic resonance (MR) technology Imaging of Cerebrovascular Disease
is a concise yet remarkably thorough textbook that advances the reader's expertise on this
subject. The text draws on the author's vast personal experience case studies and traditional
educational sources offering didactic dialogue with accompanying images. A practical clinical
resource organized into six chapters this book offers unparalleled breadth in delineating the
diagnostic and treatment usages of modern imaging techniques. Chapter one sets a foundation
with extensive coverage of modalities and their applications including MR computed tomography
(CT) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Subsequent chapters cover utilization of
imaging techniques specific to underlying pathologies. Key Features: - In-depth discussion of
medical and neuroradiologic neurosurgical interventions focusing on the use of imaging prior
to during and following treatment - Comprehensive text enhanced with more than 700
high-quality images - Detailed evaluation of normal brain anatomy as well as gyral anatomy in
brain ischemia an important subtopic - Advantages disadvantages mortality and morbidity of
surgery (clipping) versus endovascular techniques (coiling and flow diversion) for aneurysms
Presented in a style that facilitates cover-to-cover reading this is an essential tool for
residents and fellows and provides a robust study guide prior to sitting for relevant
certification exams. It is also a quick invaluable reference for radiologists neurosurgeons
and neurologists in the midst of a busy clinical day.
