The text is succinct and appropriate.A problem that cannot be avoided is the rapid evolution of the use of the CT scan, which outdates some of this material. The newer three-dimensional scanners and use of newer contrast media are omitted.The case for the use of CT scans in the identification of saccular aneurysms may have been overstated. More emphasis on the associated hematoma or infarction and less on the identification of the aneurysm itself would be helpful for the student learning the fundamentals.I think this volume would be helpful as an
