The 3D Angiographic Atlas of Neurovascular Anatomy and Pathology is the first atlas to present neurovascular information and images based on catheter three-dimensional (3D) rotational angiographic studies. The images in this book are the culmination of work done by Neil M. Borden over several years using one of the first 3D neurovascular angiographic suites in the United States. With the aid of this revolutionary technology, Dr. Borden has performed numerous diagnostic neurovascular angiographic studies as well as endovascular neurosurgical procedures. The spectacular 3D images he obtained are extensively labeled and juxtaposed with conventional 2D angiograms for orientation and comparison. Anatomical color drawings and concise descriptions of the major intracranial vascular territories further enhance understanding of the complex cerebral vasculature.

About the Authors
Neil M. Borden, MD, is a board-certified neuroradiologist who has been practicing for 20 years. He completed a neuroradiology fellowship at the Neurological Institute of New York at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and a two-year fellowship in endovascular neurosurgery at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Borden is a senior member of the American Society of Neuroradiology and is currently practicing at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio.
Book Review
That this superb angiographic atlas was assembled by Dr. Neil Borden is no surprise. Even as a resident Neil gained the reputation of being a “walking radiology encyclopedia” and a “sponge” for knowledge. Between 1994 and 1996, Neil completed a fellowship in interventional neuroradiology with us at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. He joined us as a seasoned neuroradiologist who left an established practice to pursue additional training, and I believe that his choice to do so reflects his undiminished love of learning and teaching.
Remarkably, Neil had little experience in research or publishing when he joined us. His commitment and dedication to medical education are now manifest in the volume before you. Having assembled a few neurosurgical atlases during my career, I can assure readers that the finished product is the culmination of hundreds and hundreds of hours spent acquiring and weeding through countless images to optimize the learning process. The technology provides the images, it is true. However, only Neil’s keen intellectual competency could have created this thoughtfully formatted and beautiful atlas. It is my pleasure and honor to recommend 3D Angiographic Atlas of Neurovascular Anatomy and Pathology to both students and masters of the neurosciences.
