Autorenporträt

Dr. Pearse Morris has written a timely and comprehensive reference for those who are interested in expanding their knowledge of neuroendovascular procedures, but have not had a specialized neuroradiology fellowship. The emphasis throughout is on patient safety and the outcome of various treatments. Neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, and neurologists will find this reference a much needed and practical asset for both their education and for updating their practices.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "The book on interventional and endovascular therapy of the nervous system is designed as a monograph reflecting the author's work, experience, and dedication. ... Dr. Morris has managed to provide a state-of-the-art documentation of current treatment and a comprehensive overview of the field. The case material presented is clearly illustrated. In summary, the book provides important information on current approaches in neuro- and interventional radiology ... . I do wish the book the success it deserves." (European Radiology, Vol. 13 (2), 2003) "This small volume is a primer of interventional neuroradiology for those who are beginning their training in the field. ... The main text is well organized ... . Every chapter concludes with an extensive list of references. The quality of the angiographic images and drawings is very good. There are lots of case presentations of good educative value." (Sandro Rossitti, Acta Radiologica, Vol. 43 (5), 2002) "The book does provide a useful summary of the current literature for each type of procedure and the evidence (or not) of its efficiency. ... This book does serve as a good introduction to the field and enables trainee neurointerventionists and neurosurgeons to understand the basic principles, procedures and evidence for interventional neuroradiology techniques. ... it would sit happily within any neurosciences library." (A.J.P. Goddard, Neuroradiology, Vol. 44 (10), 2002) "For anyone new to the field, this is a welcome textbook as it explains very clearly those subtle but important tricks of the trade that may make the difference between success and failure. For those of us who have been doing it for a while, it is reassuring to see in print the corroboration of one's own technique. His style is concise and factual ... . It is well illustrated and ... the quality of the images is excellent." (Dr. John Millar, RAD-Magazine, October, 2002) "I would suggest that anyone who reads this book pay particular attention to the many figures and legends. There is a wealth of good information and advice ... . In every section of the book, there are excellent comments that could help resolve a case faster, ... or assist the radiologist who has encountered a potentially disastrous mistake. This book is so well written that there is an impulse to read it quickly. On the contrary, this book should be dissected rather than skimmed." (David Martin, Radiology, Vol. 225 (23), December, 2002) "As its title implies, this is a practical guide to interventional neuroradiology. ... The book is remarkably up to date ... . This is a tribute to the author and to Springer, who have produced a high quality, superbly illustrated book of the type for which the publishers are rightly renowned. This book is written primarily for neuro-interventionists, both those in training and those who are 'trained' ... . It is strongly recommended ... for inclusion in the neuroscience departmental library." (Paul Butler, Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 2002)
