CT- and MR-Guided Interventions in Radiology / Edition 2

by Andreas H. Mahnken, Kai E. Wilhelm, Jens Ricke

Overview

Interventional radiology is an indispensable and still expanding area of modern medicine that encompasses numerous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The revised and extended second edition of this volume covers a broad range of non-vascular interventions guided by CT or MR imaging. Indications, materials, techniques, and results are all carefully discussed. A particularly comprehensive section is devoted to interventional oncology as the most rapidly growing branch of interventional radiology. In addition, detailed information is provided that will assist in establishing and developing an interventional service. This richly illustrated book will be a most valuable source of information and guidance for all radiologists who deal with non-vascular procedures.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

“This is the second edition of a multiple author text which was originally published in 2009. … Each chapter includes a good list of references and is well-illustrated. … any self-respecting interventional radiologist needs to keep abreast with what is going on across the channel and should dip into this book. … the book would be a valuable addition for any radiology department that offers an interventional service.” (Nick Reading, RAD Magazine, April, 2014)
