Essential Anatomical Knowledge for Neurointervention - Functional Neurovascular Anatomy

Essential Functional Hepatic and Biliary Anatomy for the Surgeon

Importance of Anatomical Landmarks on Axillary Neurovascular Territories for Surgery

The anatomy of axillary neurovascular architechture is very important for neurosurgeon, plastic and cardiovascular surgeons, and also radiologists to aid in diagnosis, treatment and planning surgical procedure. Walsh and Willar were firstly described brachial plexus (BP) anatomy in details from 1877 (Akboru et al, 2010). After rapid development of microsurgical approaches, variations and injuri...

Functional anatomy of essential tremor: lessons from neuroimaging.

The neuropathogenetic processes underlying essential tremor appear to cause subtle morphologic changes in neural networks that include multiple brain structures, primarily the cerebellum, brain stem, frontal lobes, and thalamus. One of the main challenges of neuroimaging in essential tremor is differentiating disease-specific markers from the spectrum of structural changes that occur due to agi...

Desiderata for Representing Anatomical Knowledge

The general problem of knowledge representation for gross anatomy supporting both computers and human is rarely globally solved. Partial solutions are flourishing, but the actual and potential users are left with a lack of satisfaction and uncomfortable feeling of incompleteness. Moreover, these solutions are not ready for a sound evolution and are at risk to disappear at any moment by default ...

Usefulness of C-stopper Coil for Neurointervention

C-stopper coil (CSC) which are available for 0.018-inch inner diameter microcenter have been used for neurointervention such as transarterial embolization (TAE) of feeding artery. Although various shapes of pushable microcoils have been developed, microcoils are usually short to embolize the lesion and require lots of coils. The most specific feature of CSC is the extended length of 18 cm. To e...
