Neurovascular Imaging: From Basics to Advanced Concepts

Beschreibung

Neurovascular imaging is a crucial field within medical imaging focused on visualizing the blood vessels and structures of the nervous system, particularly the brain and spinal cord. This specialized imaging is essential for diagnosing and treating a variety of neurological conditions, including strokes, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and other cerebrovascular diseases. Techniques commonly used in neurovascular imaging include Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA), Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), and ultrasound. MRA and CTA are non-invasive methods that provide detailed images of blood vessels using magnetic fields and X-rays, respectively. DSA, though more invasive, offers high-resolution images by injecting contrast material directly into the blood vessels, making it invaluable for intricate vascular studies. Doppler ultrasound, on the other hand, assesses blood flow and vessel health in a non-invasive manner using sound waves. Advancements in neurovascular imaging have significantly improved the ability to detect and evaluate vascular abnormalities early, facilitating timely and effective interventions. These technologies not only aid in accurate diagnosis but also guide surgical planning and postoperative assessments, contributing to better patient outcomes. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of neurovascular imaging. It presents the complex subject of neurovascular imaging in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
