Intracranial Arteriopathies

In this complex and often misunderstand area of medical science, Intracranial Arteriopathies: From Anomalies to Abnormalities provides neuroradiologists with a systematic approach to understanding intracranial arteriopathies, performing advanced neuroimaging techniques, interpreting imaging results, and allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. By delving into the epidemiology and pathophysiology of intracranial artery diseases, this book aims to clarify the distinctions between anomalies and abnormalities, offering invaluable insights for both clinical practice and research. The contents of this book span a wide range of topics, from common causes like atherosclerosis to rare conditions such as Moyamoya disease and post-infectious vasculitides. Each chapter, authored by leading experts in the field, covers essential aspects including foundational details, imaging methods, diagnostic criteria and guidelines, and differential diagnoses. The book also explores systemic diseases that impact intracranial arteries, such as fibromuscular dysplasia and neurofibromatosis, providing a holistic view of the subject matter. Through detailed case studies and practical examples, readers will gain a deep understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical patterns of these conditions. For neuroradiologists, Intracranial Arteriopathies: From Anomalies to Abnormalities offers a pragmatic approach to understanding the complexities of intracranial arteriopathies, enhancing their ability to identify and study these conditions. Clinicians will find this resource particularly beneficial for improving their diagnostic accuracy and management strategies, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. This book is an essential reference, bridging the gap between theory and clinical practice.
