The first book-length reference to thoroughly describe
diagnostic and therapeutic advances in the development of vascular
radiology over the last decade

The last ten years has seen vascular imaging of the central
nervous system (CNS) evolve from fairly crude, invasive procedures
to more advanced imaging methods that are safer, faster, and more
precise--with computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance
(MR) imaging methods playing a special role in these advances.

Vascular Imaging of the Central Nervous System is the
first full-length reference text that shows
radiologists--especially neuroradiologists--how to
optimize the use of the many techniques available in order to
increase the sensitivity and specificity of vascular imaging,
thereby improving the diagnosis and treatment of individual
patients. Each chapter is formatted carefully and divided into two
essential parts: The first part describes the physical principles
underlying each imaging technique, along potential associated
artifacts and pitfalls; the second part addresses clinical
applications and novel applications of each method.

With a strong focus on the clinical application of each modality
or technique in CNS radiology, this book provides in-depth chapter
coverage of:

* Ultrasound Vascular Imaging (UVI)

* Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA)

* Magnetic Resonance Vascular imaging (MRV)

* Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)

* Brain perfusion techniques: CT and MRI

* Plaque imaging

* Intravascular imaging

* Pediatric vascular imaging

Along with numerous illustrations and case studies, Vascular
Imaging of the Central Nervous System: Physical Principles,
Clinical Applications, and Emerging Techniques is an important
book for those faced with choosing from the wide range of choices
available for clinical practice.
