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.
''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_x000D_ _x000D_ "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_x000D_ _x000D_ "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_x000D_ _x000D_ "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."
