Imaging in Percutaneous Musculoskeletal Interventions cover

Diagnostic Imaging

This is one of the first books to deal specifically with imaging in percutaneous musculoskeletal interventions. The third part of the book documents the different indications for vascular interventions in musculoskeletal lesions.

This is one of the first books to deal specifically with imaging in percutaneous musculoskeletal interventions. In the first chapter, the basic procedures and different guidance techniques are presented and discussed. Ensuing chapters describe in exhaustive detail the abilities and uses of imaging in guiding procedures ranging from biopsy and joint injection to management of pain and tumors. The third part of the book documents the different indications for vascular interventions in musculoskeletal lesions. The final chapter focuses on ultrasound-guided interventions, as they are more common and tend to be fashionable. The book is well illustrated with carefully chosen and technically excellent images. Each of the 18 chapters is written by an expert of international repute, making this book the most current and complete treatment of the subject available. It should be of great interest to interventional radiologists and also musculoskeletal and general radiologists.

From the reviews: “This is a comprehensive, well organized and practical manual of interventional musculoskeletal radiology. … written clearly with many practical tips. This allows it to be used readily both as a bench book and as a source of reference. … The illustrations are clear with corresponding explicit radiological images. … a concise and authoritative guide applicable to interventional and musculoskeletal radiologists.” (Paula Richards, RAD Magazine, December, 2009) “This book … is one of the few on the market to update with the latest ‘conquests’ the matter of percutaneous musculoskeletal procedures. … A cohort of very impressive radiological images, detailed anatomical images and detailed procedures enrich and clarify the text. … interventional radiologists will find the book useful and a complementary tool in their daily activity. General or musculoskeletal radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons will enhance their knowledge and thus be able to properly use or guide … their patients.” (Giampiero Beluffi, La Radiologica Medica, Vol. 115, 2010)
