5.0 out of 5 stars Interventional procedures for the body imager as well as interventionalist., September 28, 2005

This review is from: Handbook of Interventional Radiologic Procedures (Paperback)

This book is weighted towards the interventional radiologist however topics and procedures for body imagers/general radiologists would also benefit. Each procedure is covered in detail from indication, preparation, procedure, complications and post procedure information. Also covered is relavent pharmacology for the radiologist including managing contrast reactions. The size is small enough for a jacket pocket and the text is clear and concise.

I am an RA student and found this book to be a priceless resource.
Very concise...everything you need, without the fluff.
A must-have for anyone (RA, PA, NP, Resident, Technologist, RN) involved with Radiology interventional procedures.
