Interventional Neuroradiology describes a range of endovascular, percutaneous and imaging techniques used in the region of the brain, spine, and head and neck. These techniques have a growing number of diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The coverage starts with a look at the anatomy of the regions concerned, then moves on to describe the techniques and equipment used, before covering their application in a range of specific diseases, including stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, tumours and vascular malformations. The book closes with a section looking at other related aspects of patient care and service organisation. James Byrne has commissioned chapters from renowned…
