Foreword

Neuroradiology goes therapeutic. By using the vascular system as an access route to intracranial vascular pathologies, many vascular diseases can be treated nowadays “from the inside” with only minimal invasiveness. Neuroradiology has long ceased to be a purely diagnostic discipline. The need for a second edition of the book – edited, and to a significant degree written, by Prof. Forsting and Prof. Wanke – relatively soon after the fi rst edition underlines the importance of and
