Arterial Anatomy of the Spine and Spinal Cord

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Spinal digital subtraction angiography (SpDSA) is the gold standard imaging modality for evaluating vascular anomalies of the spine and spinal cord. Endovascular treatment of spinal vascular lesions was pioneered in the late 1960s shortly after the introduction of selective spinal angiography itself. Performing diagnostic and therapeutic SpDSA requires a solid understanding of the relevant vascular anatomy. This chapter offers an introduction to the arterial anatomy of the spine and spinal cord and discusses the basic principles of SpDSA.
