About this book

Cerebral Angiography is a comprehensive and well-illustrated guide to the diagnostic use of cerebral angiography. The first part of the book depicts in detail the normal appearance of the cerebral vessels on angiographic studies. Sound knowledge of this normal vascular anatomy and clinical function is vital for correct interpretation of the clinical significance of the pathological processes addressed in the second part of the book. The latter include vascular abnormalities, including angiomas, fistulas, and aneurysms; atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic stenosis and occlusion of the cerebral vessels; and venous thrombosis. In each case, both typical and atypical appearances are presented. While the emphasis throughout is on the diagnostic value of cerebral angiography, a number of examples of endovascular treatment are also included to highlight the evolving possibilities of therapy and the role of cerebral angiography in treatment selection.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“Chapters are on the normal external carotid cerebral vessels with angiographic detail of the various vascular territories. Each of the territories are well illustrated by excellent quality black-and-white photographs, annotated with arrows pointing to the various branches. … In summary, this is an excellent textbook from an angiographic point of view, illustrating complex vascular conditions within the brain.” (Mary Sheppard, The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, July, 2012)

“The appearance of this book is timely, particularly as many of those involved in the development of this study are co-authors. … The text is broken up by tables, graphs and occasional colour illustrations, while extensive lists of references supplement each chapter. … this collection of reviews will prove to be a very useful supplementary reference text.” (Mary Sheppard, The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, Issue 158, April, 2012)
