Morphological manifestations of cerebral microvasculature disease: Pathologic foundations and
imaging correlates
A.G. Osborn; Salt Lake City, UT/US
Learning Objectives:
1. To learn the normal microscopic anatomy of the cerebral microvasculature (arterioles, capillaries and
venules).
2. To learn the common pathologies that affects the cerebral microvasculature.
3. To learn the imaging manifestations of diseases that effects the cerebral microvasculature and the best
available imaging modalities to detect them.
