Most workers in neuroradiology would agree that there is a need for a textbook which correlates the gross anatomy of the brain, ventricles, subarachnoid cisterns, and blood vessels with the appearances demonstrated by pneumoencephalography, ventriculography, and angiography.

The first part of this book is devoted to a brief but helpful description of the development of the brain. The techniques of pneumoencephalography, ventriculography, and angiography are discussed very briefly. Most of the radiographic reproductions are excellent. However, certain structures which are of great importance in neuroradiology are dealt with very briefly, and sometimes this brevity has led to inaccuracy. For example, the posterior choroidal arteries and the ambient cistern receive only superficial description, and the morbid anatomy is not well correlated with the radiographic appearances. The middle cerebral vessels are the key to the localization of many supratentorial tumors, and a little more stress might have been given to these . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
