This review is from: Interventional Radiology: A Multimedia Approach (Book with 2 CD-ROM for Windows) (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book for a diagnostic radiology resident in the first couple of rotations in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, as well as body imaging fellows and general diagnostic radiologists. In essence, this covers the major topics in interventional radiology that guides us in the priniciples interventional radiology and bridging concepts with practical knowledge. It is aptly broken down into Non-Vascular interventions covering commonly performed concepts such as biliary interventions, abscess drainage, biopsies, GI/GU interventions and Vascular procedures such as stenting, embolizations, vascular access and fibrinolytics. Each chapter cites a good number of references for further reading.

The CD-ROM is an excellent accompanyment providing the text and a multimedia experience that is truly complementary. The text runs from Quicktime from Apple and the text is better visualized using WXGA versus WUXGA since the size of the text/box cannot be adjusted. Text is searchable and is broken into two disks, Vascular and Non-Vascular interventions. The Videos and animations are also appropriately indexed by respective chapters. Navigation around the text on CD-ROM is intuitive. It lacks function to cut and paste text or add notes for further reference.

The book is written is a clear and concise fashion and can definitely be read during a month rotation, if not a shorter interval. A recommendation for improvement would include the ability to copy text or include a box for annotations (i.e. note taking).
