Vascular Imaging and Endovascular Interventions

Description

Most vascular anomalies are recognized with various imaging modalities. Radiography, ultrasonography (US), CT, or MRI is usually performed to confirm the suspected diagnosis, to determine the extent of the vascular anomaly and to search for associated abnormalities. Vascular anomalies are grouped into hemangiomas and vascular malformations. This book is a comprehensive guide to vascular imaging and endovascular interventions. The chapters of the book provide an overview of vascular imaging, radiation safety, contrast agents, pharmacologics, vascular anatomy, pathology and non-invasive vascular imaging, with each topic further divided by anatomical region. The text provides in depth information on the diagnosis and treatment of different vascular diseases. Written by internationally recognized experts of the field, this book is highly illustrated with clinical images and diagrams. The present book is aimed to create a combined collection of study material for medical professionals, researchers and students to understand outcome of recent researches on vascular imaging and endovascular interventions. This book grasps and keeps vital information, succinct text, and dynamic illustrations that facilitate learning in a highly visual approach. Scientists, medical professionals and students will find this book valuable.
