A one-of-a-kind reference and atlas to variations in the human arterial system
Based
on the landmark work Arterial Variations in Man: Classification and
Frequency by Lippert and Pabst, this atlas presents the full range of
arterial variations that occur in the human body. Adding an
interdisciplinary perspective to the original text, Arterial Variations
in Humans: Key Reference for Radiologists and Surgeons shows variations
of the arteries with schematic diagrams alongside their corresponding
radiological images. Chapters begin with schematic and radiological
depictions of normal arterial blood supply, followed by images of the
arterial variation, to enable rapid identification of individual
variations. This unique resource also includes statistics on the
frequency of specific arterial variations and explanations of their
embryologic origins.
Special Features:
- Coverage
of arterial variations in the head, neck, spine, thorax, abdomen and
pelvis, and upper and lower extremities with separate chapters devoted
to each major artery
- Clearly
drawn schematic outlines and their correlating high-quality
radiological scans-more than 900 illustrations in total-highlight
arterial variations
- Images
of the "normal" arterial anatomy as described in standard textbooks are
provided for side-by-side comparison with the arterial variation
- Percentages for the frequency of occurrence of arterial variations with references to the source of the data
- Concise and lucid descriptions in each chapter facilitate complete comprehension of normal and abnormal vascular anatomy
With
Arterial Variations in Humans: Key Reference for Radiologists and
Surgeons, radiologists will gain a full understanding of the diversity
of arterial anatomy-essential knowledge for the accurate interpretation
of pathological changes in diagnostic imaging. Interventional
radiologists and vascular and general surgeons will also find this book
valuable for planning and performing procedures safely and effectively.
