Interventional Neuroradiology describes a range of endovascular, percutaneous and imaging techniques used in the region of the head, neck and spine. The coverage starts with look at the anatomy of the regions concerned, moves on the describe the techniques and equipment used, before covering their application in a range of specific disease types, for example vascular conditions, tumour and stroke. The book closes with section looking at other related aspects of patient care and service organization. James Byrne has commissioned chapters from international experts in this field. The book provides a concise and up-to-date alternative to the Lasjaunuas and Berstein five-volume set of books on Surgical Neuroangiography, published by Springer.
