This book is a comprehensive review of image guided interventions of the spine. Beginning with a chapter dedicated to the history of image guided spinal interventions, authors set the stage for the role these procedures have and will play in the field. Chapters cover the key procedures, techniques, and considerations to maximize effectiveness and patient care. Some major topics covered include: imaging osseo-ligamentous spine anatomy, percutaneous vertebroplasty, image guided tumor ablation, and vascular spine intervention. Additional features include high-quality illustrations with concise descriptions and clinical cases discussions. This is an ideal guide for interventional neuroradiologists, radiologists, pain management physicians, neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons, and related residents, fellows, and students wanting in depth information on image guided interventions of the spine.

This book is designed to provide the practicing interventionist with a comprehensive list of procedural reports that covers the vast majority of the currently performed interventional procedures outside the cardiac system. It offers up-to-date explanatory notes, synopsis of the indications, contraindications and potential complications in an organized and practical format that follows the various body systems and progresses from the simple image guided FNA to the most complex procedures and incorporates the current societal guidelines. The book is divided for ease of reference into three main parts: Non vascular, Vascular and Neurovascular interventions. This information is not currently available in any single publication. The text provides residents, fellows as well as staff members with a quick, detailed and user-friendly resource for documentation of image-guided interventional procedures that will facilitate their tasks, improve the standard of documentation and reduce errors. The text can serve as a valuable tool for a quick review prior to a procedure or in preparation for an oral board certifying examination. The entries are vetted by recognized experts in the field of image-guided intervention. Procedural Dictations in Image-Guided Intervention: Non-Vascular, Vascular & Neuro Interventions covers the vast majority of the currently practiced image-guided interventions in the various body systems. This information is supported by up-to-date references and international guidelines. This book is a must-have for residents and fellows undergoing training and all specialists in image-guided intervention.

The field of interventional radiology is constantly undergoing change, and its procedures evolve over time. There is currently tremendous pressure on our specialty, as cardiology and vascular surgery app- priate existing vascular interventions. We need to be looking constantly for new procedures that will replace this loss. In the 1980s, the int- duction of vascular access provided new procedures that included the placement of temporary venous catheters, ports, tunneled catheters, and dialysis maintenance. As a result of vascular access the number of procedures performed in some interventional labs doubled. The same revolution is occurring again with the advent of image-guided spine intervention. Five percent of the American population at any one time has back pain. This huge patient population is seeking help for this disabling and persistent problem. Image-Guided Spine Interventions describes the varied and numerous procedures that are available to the image-guided interventionist, who may provide these therapies for the spine. This book embraces clinical evaluation, pharmacological requirements, procedural recommen- tions, and a spectrum of procedures that will be of interest to the image-guided spine interventionist. It covers a broad range of ma- rial that is presented by experts in each field, including discography, intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET), percutaneous discectomy, vertebroplasty and ballon kyphoplasty, epidural steroid injections, - lective nerve root blocks and autonomic nerve blockade, diagnostic epidurography and therapeutic epidurolysis, sacroiliac and facet joint injections, implanted drug delivery systems, and epidural blood and fibrin patches for CSF leaks.

This book provides a comprehensive source for all aspects of percutaneous image-guided biopsy. A synthesis of rationale, technique and evidence-based medicine, it offers a clear approach to imaging, devices, procedures and patient care. Replete with case studies, radiological images, illustrative diagrams and tables, this valuable reference is an indispensable addition to the bookshelves of all radiologists in training as well as practicing radiologists who would like to expand their biopsy service and refine their skills. The easy to follow format, organization and graphic presentations create a high-yield approach to practical information such as indications, technical considerations, anatomical considerations, outcomes and complications. This timely compendium is a necessity in this rapidly progressing field.

This book provides background information and step-by-step procedures for a range of image-guided interventional procedures relating to the treatment of spine and back pain. Each chapter discusses a specific procedure, covering the pertinent anatomy, selection criteria, contraindications, equipment, medications, instructions, potential complications, and aftercare. Case studies, CPT codes, references, and a neurosurgeon's commentators are also provided. 625 color illustrations support the narrative instructions.
