ABSTRACT
Neurosurgery and neuroradiology have historically been complementary specialties: neurosurgery demands logical decision making and accurate therapeutic planning while diagnostic neuroradiology supplies ever more clinical data points through the evolution and application of digital imaging technologies. Endovascular surgical neuroradiology (also known as endovascular neurosurgery) combines the clinical needs of the former with the technical sophistication of the latter in a single specialty. The importance of mastery of the imaging concepts as a prerequisite to expeditious, yet thoughtful, decision making and safe clinical practice cannot be underestimated.
