Book Description

Written by a team of distinguished contributors involved in training programs, this new book offers a thorough and complete overview of the most important aspects of vascular and interventional radiology for residents and fellows. You'll get all anatomic, procedural, and clinical information, including proper techniques, outcomes, and complication avoidance. Hundreds of line drawings, tables, radiographs, and CT scans illustrate key points and clarify difficult concepts.

The book begins with an introduction to general procedures and imaging, and then provides an analysis of the most effective diagnosis and management strategies. Dozens of case studies, including pulmonary and bronchial circulation, venous diseases, liver and spleen disorders, angiography, and more, clarify all concepts.

Key features:

-Nearly 600 high-quality drawings and radiographs-more than one per page!

-Valuable information on detecting and avoiding complications, from procedural and long term problems to infections

-Succinct enough to be read in a one- or two-month resident rotation

-References are limited to only relevant, state-of-the-art listings

Here is an invaluable guide and study tool for residents and fellows, as well as for experienced radiologists using it as a daily reference.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Image quality is high. . .supports the further development in the field of interventional radiology. . .can be recommended to residents involved in the field.' --European Radiology

"A detailed introduction to the basic concepts and methodologies in vascular and interventional radiology...a great book...a must for beginning IR fellows and interested diagnostic radiology residents." --Doody's Review Journal

"Chapter 22 is one of the best in the book...extremly useful material that is not mentioned in competitive interventional books. The same high praise goes to all the genitourinary chapters; this is essential material...The chapters covering the gastrointestinal part of the abdomen are simply superb...Vascular and Interventional Radiology: Principles and Practice is a great read. It is full of valuable information needed for a productive interventional radiology rotation, but it would also be good to have handy in daily practice." --American Journal of Roentgenology, 01/2003

"The book is well organized in two parts...this textbook is recommended to those interested in vascular interventional radiology, presenting an overview of the technique and procedures of a subspecialty, which, notwithstanding the rapid progress of less invasive diagnostic techniques, such as echo, Doppler angioCT and angioMR, is in continuous evolution." --Clinical Imaging

This review is from: Vascular and Interventional Radiology: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)

This is a great review for those who were out of touch in special procedures. I know I am. The information just became second nature to me the anatomy and pathology shown in these pages are good review.
