4 Preface Interventional neuroradiology is a relatively recently established subdiscipline of neuroscience and radiology that has expanded rapidly and now plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of brain and spine pathology of both vascular and non-vascular origin. Spine pain is a dramatic social problem whose significance has grown even during the short course of the twenty-first century, with annual increases in incidence owing to the increase in average life expectancy, the silent epidemic of osteoporosis and the growing number of patients with primary or secondary spine tumors. Among the many reasons for writing a book in the field of medicine are the desire to share your and your co-authors experience with the scientific world, the wish to present your point of view on the diagnosis and treatment of particular pathologies and, especially, the importance of transmitting science to those working in other medical disciplines with a view to ensuring that disease is treated in the best possible way. Bearing this in mind, starting from the basic anatomy and clinical approach, this book presents and describes not only the neuroradiological experience but also the medical, radiotherapy and surgical points of view regarding the optimal treatment of pathologies encountered in daily practice. I would like to thank all the co-authors for the excellent job that they have done and for their prompt responses to my invitation to contribute to this book, which has ensured publication within a short time.
