=====Galenic system===== Anatomically, the galenic venous system is highly variable. This variability is caused by interpersonal, intrapersonal and age related differences and causes each individual galenic venous system to be unique. Therefore, modern [[neurosurgical procedures]] require anatomical information on individual differences. Current radiological methods of digital substraction angiography and [[magnetic resonance venography]] fail short of providing the necessary information. New and more sophisticated [[Magnetic resonance imaging]] (MRI) technology may fulfill this need ((KiliƧ T, Ozduman K, Cavdar S, Ozek MM, Pamir MN. The galenic venous system: surgical anatomy and its angiographic and magnetic resonance venographic correlations. Eur J Radiol. 2005 Nov;56(2):212-9. Epub 2005 Jun 13. PubMed PMID: 15955654.)).
