Book Description

ISBN-10: 0865422435 | ISBN-13: 978-0865422438 | Publication Date: January 15, 1996 | Edition: 3

Following the development of new technological procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, imaging has become increasingly invasive, and with that comes a wider range of complications. This volume covers all complications seen in diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, from general problems such as parenteral contrast agents, the pregnant patient and resuscitation, to specifics associated with particular procedures in the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, and genitourinary systems. Adult and paediatric problems are equally covered. Risk identification and management, quality assurance and legal aspects are also discussed. The third edition has been enlarged by about 30%, with all chapters assiduously revised and several chapters added (lasers, infections, thrombolytic therapy, quality assurance, and interventional GI and neuroradiology). About 30 of the contributors are new and reflect the top names in radiology. A new format provides for three major sections: General Considerations, Organ Systems, and Risk Identification and Management.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I would strongly recommend this book as essential reading, not only as a reference volume but as an extremely good read in its own right." Clinical Radiology on the third edition

From the Back Cover

Following the development of new technology procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, imaging has become increasingly invasive. With this comes a wider range of complications. This volume covers all complications seen in diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, from general problems such as parenteral contrast agents, the pregnant patient and resuscitation, to specifics associated with particular procedures in the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, and genitourinary systems. Adult and paediatric problems are equally covered. Risk identification and management, quality assurance and legal aspects are also discussed. The third edition has expanded by about 30%, with all chapters assiduously revised, and several - including those on lasers, infections, thrombolytic therapy, quality assurance, and interventional GI and neuroradiology - completely new. Most (over 30) of the contributors are new to the project and reflect the top names in radiology. A new format provides for three major sections: General Considerations, Organ Systems, and Risk Identification and Management.
