BRIDGING CLINICAL PRACTICE AND NEURORADIOLOGY

Medicine is an ever-changing science undergoing continual development. Research and clinical experience

are continually expanding our knowledge, in particular our knowledge of proper treatment and drug therapy.

The authors, editors, and publisher have made every eɱort to ensure that all information in this book is

in accordance with the state of knowledge at the time of production of the book. Nevertheless, this does

not imply or express any guarantee or responsibility on the part of the authors, editors, or publisher with

respect to any dosage instructions and forms of application stated in the book. Every reader should care-

fully examine the package inserts accompanying each drug and check with a physician or specialist the

contraindications stated by the manufacturer. They may diɱer from the statements made in this book. Such

examination is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely used or have been newly released on

the market. Every dosage schedule or every form of application used is entirely at the reader’s own risk and

responsibility. The editors and publisher welcome any reader to report to the publisher any discrepancies or

inaccuracies noticed.
