Practical Neuroangiography, Second Edition is a complete, concise, current, practical, and richly illustrated guide to diagnostic and interventional neuroangiography and neurovascular disease. Techniques and safety chapters take readers through the actual hands-on experience in the angiography suite and specifically address issues concerning patient safety, radiation protection, complications, and outcome. Subsequent chapters describe and illustrate the entire gamut of neurovascular anatomy, anatomic variants, and pathology to help readers interpret neuroangiographic studies.
This edition's expanded section on interventional neuroradiology covers the most common elective and emergent interventional procedures. The updated artwork includes over 1,000 photographs and diagrams, some in full-color or two-color
