Why a book about the diagnostic imaging and endovascular therapy of vascular malformations?
There is a simple answer: This is a fascinating part of neuroradiology, it has
many interdisciplinary aspects and it has become a large fi eld of my and our professional
life. The book should have been ready at least one year earlier, but there was always
something new that had to be included. Still, I am sure, each reader will miss something
he or she has just heard at a meeting or read in the current issue of a journal. On the
other hand, there is already a wealth of established basic knowledge about diagnostic
imaging and endovascular therapy that will not change fast and justifi es writing a book
instead of a review paper.
There are a lot of basics one should know about vascular malformations of the brain,
and during our daily practice my colleagues and I see a lot of images and patients that
do not have a proper diagnosis or have had a lengthy odyssey before fi nding an expert.
We all hope that our book will fi nd readers who are willing to go into this important
aspect of radiology and will enable them to care for their patients in a professional way.
And it is not only written for interventional neuroradiologists: it should be of interest
for everybody working in “neuro-disciplines”.
Although we belong to the younger generation of European neuroradiologists – we
know that age is a moving target, but never mind – we chose not to write a modern
book with colored “memory boxes” or other such aids, but an old-fashioned textbook.
