Core Tip
Core tip: Minimally invasive neuroradiology techniques are taking progressively a more and more important place in the management of patients with diseases of the nervous system. It is thus necessary for the physician who is going to perform them to both understand and master fully standard and advanced neuroimaging techniques that provide detailed insights into the functioning of the brain.
