Hemangiomas and Vascular Malformations: An Atlas of Diagnosis and Treatment will be a practical approach to the world of vascular tumors. The complexity of this world is related to the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations, necessitating multi-disciplinary competences in order to achieve a correct diagnosis and treatment. The complexity of the clinical manifestations is approached by introducing a clear classification of hemangiomas and vascular malformations. For both issues, diagnostic imaging and therapeutic procedures are presented. Laser, interventional radiological and surgical techniques are explained according to the type of vascular tumor and its localization.
After the introduction, the book is divided in three parts on hemangiomas, vascular malformations, and treatment according to specific localizations. The chapters are extremely well done, with images and graphics of high quality. The pictures and radiographic images provide an outstanding atlas for the diagnosis of vascular malformations. The editors and contributors are leaders in the treatment of these pathologies.
The book is addressed to all professionals who meet vascular tumors in their daily clinical practice and need up-to-date references for these pathologies.
