The imaging quality achievable in MR imaging today was inconceivable just a few years ago. No other subdiscipline has evolved so swiftly while placing ever-greater emphasis on fast and accurate results. This book is intended as an indispensable tool at the workplace, as reference for image interpretation, and even for fast orientation during the examination. Adjunct information is provided that fosters the dialogue with referring physicians: for most diseases and conditions there are summaries of epidemiology, clinical findings, pathogenesis and pathophysiology, as well as basic therapy concepts. Special features: A fast-reference guide, even in tricky cases-differential diagnosis made easy, with high clinical relevanceTips for organizing examinationsReference images for comparison with actual imagesA reference book for looking up equivocal findingsMore than 1,300 vivid, high-resolution images from the latest generation of scannersCoverage of peripheral nervous system diseases and MR neurographyAnswers to questions such as:What technique is best for answering a specific question?What does normal anatomy look like, and what landmarks should be sought?Which differential diagnoses should I consider?What are the optimal equipment settings at my workplace?What therapeutic options does interventional radiology provide?For all radiologists in hospital or office settings, also for neurologists and neurosurgeons.

This book describes the pathoanatomical, pathophysiological, and imaging features of vascular malformations and aneurysms of the brain and the modern, minimally invasive endovascular methods and techniques employed in their treatment. Individual chapters are devoted to developmental venous malformations, cavernomas and capillary telangiectasias, pial arteriovenous malformations, dural arteriovenous malformations, and intracranial aneurysms. Each chapter is subdivided into four principal sections on pathology, clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and therapy, ensuring a standardized approach throughout. All chapters in this 2nd revised edition of Intracranial Vascular Malformations and Aneurysms have been thoroughly updated. The book is richly illustrated with numerous informative CT, MR and DSA images, including high-end 7-Tesla MR images.
