3D Angiographic Atlas of Neurovascular Anatomy and Pathology

The 3D Angiographic Atlas of Neurovascular Anatomy and Pathology is the first atlas to present neurovascular information and images based on catheter 3D rotational angiographic studies. The images in this book are the culmination of work done by Neil M. Borden over several years using one of the first 3D neurovascular angiographic suites in the United States. With the aid of this revolutionary technology, Dr Borden has performed numerous diagnostic neurovascular angiographic studies as well as endovascular neurosurgical procedures. The spectacular 3D images he obtained are extensively labeled and juxtaposed with conventional 2D angiograms for orientation and comparison. Anatomical color drawings and concise descriptions of the major intracranial vascular territories further enhance understanding of the complex cerebral vasculature.

This is the first atlas to present neurovascular information and images based on catheter 3D rotational angiographic studies.

Reviewer:Celso Agner, MD, MSc(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)
Description:Since the advent of more modern radiologic equipment that allows acquisition of 3D rotational angiographic data, it has become imperative to understand the "new" interpretation of images. This book reflects the new trend and supports the cerebral arterial anatomy known for centuries. The information in this book is invaluable for the practicing neurosurgeon.
Purpose:The purpose is to decipher the three-dimensional anatomy of intracranial vessels, something that was impossible to obtain with previous technologies.
Audience:Neurosurgeons, neurointerventionalists, and neurologists are the main audience for this book.
Features:Two authors contribute eight chapters to the book. The initial chapter fully describes what is known of basic neuroangiographic anatomy of the head and neck and briefly expands into more detailed intracranial vascular anatomy. In the remaining chapters, there is an extensive presentation of different arterial territories in three-dimensional renderings off rotational 3D angiography. In all cases, clinical examples are presented in a very clear manner. The book is well worth its price.
Assessment:This is a must for neurosurgical departmental libraries. In my view, there is no current direct comparison to this book.
