Textbook of Interventional Radiology (eng)

The textbook covers all the aspects of interventional radiology (IR), ranging from anatomy, pre-procedural evaluation, technique, post procedure care, and complications. It provides a comprehensive overview of both vascular and non-vascular interventions and thus fills the gap in the existing literature. The Initial chapters of the book focus on the hardware, drugs, contrast media, and imaging systems used in IR enabling the reader to become oriented to the interventional techniques that are covered in the subsequent chapters. Each chapter in the book focuses upon a particular set of interventions on an organ or organ system from head to toe, thereby facilitating convenient reading by the users. This book is designed not only to guide trainees enrolled in super-specialty and fellowship courses in interventional radiology (IR) but also to offer foundational IR training for general radiologists, effectively bridging the gap between general radiology and IR. It equips trainees with all the essential knowledge needed to practice IR and prepare for exams such as FRCR, EDiR, RANZCR, DM, and fellowship examinations. Additionally, it serves as a valuable reference for both practicing general radiologists and interventional radiologists. The book is relevant for MD/DNB trainees in radiology/radiodiagnosis, DM/DNrB trainees in interventional radiology/ neuroradiology/ cardiovascular radiology, and fellowship trainees in interventional radiology and its subspecialties.
