Who LA Vascular suits best
The anatomy map fits someone preparing for an interventional radiology rotation, or a patient who wants to see where a catheter will go. It is narrow on purpose: vessels only, with the interventional radiology point of each one.
It has no imaging cases and no anatomy outside the blood vessels. For those, Radiopaedia and Kenhub cover far more than we do.
