Interventional Radiology In Women S Health

A comprehensive reference for optimizing care in interventional radiology for women This book is a practical resource for the current applications of interventional radiology in the care of female patients. Divided into seven main sections, the book opens with an introduction to the role of interventional radiology in women's health, discussing such topics as specific concerns relevant to the female patient and safety considerations related to the provision of care. The sections that follow address common clinical problems and conditions unique to women, including uterine fibroids, infertility, pelvic pain, osteoporosis, and varicose veins. A final section describes interventional procedures for treating breast cancer and offers key recommendations for further practice development. Features: Clinical review of each disease entity at the beginning of each section Detailed discussion of specific procedures with descriptions of indications, evaluation, techniques, and possible complications Insights from leading specialists in such fields as obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, and orthopedics presented in "Clinical Perspective" chapters An indispensable reference for interventional radiologists, this book will also be valuable for all physicians involved in the care of women, including obstetricians and gynecologists.

Written as a concise, clinical guide to major interventional procedures impacting upon women’s health, Women’s Health in Interventional Radiology focuses on a wide range of vascular and non-vascular interventions commonly performed in daily practice, including those related to the pelvis, fallopian tube, spine, and lower extremities. Chapters provide key clinical background information on each intervention, including pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, basic anatomy, and imaging features, before moving on to step-by-step explanations of the techniques. Accompanied by high-quality illustrations and images throughout, chapters also include technical hints, pearls, and pitfalls, postoperative care guidelines, outcomes data, and complications. Written by an expert group of experienced interventionalists, this book promises the reader a comprehensive overview of interventions currently performed to treat problems affecting the health of women and is a valuable resource for both practicing physicians and those in training.

The only comprehensive reference devoted to diagnostic and interventional radiology in women, this text surveys a range of modalities and their respective utility in diagnosing and managing disorders specific to women. The authors address the variety of normal and pathologic states that can be assessed radiologically--from pregnancy, infertility, and ART, through neoplasia of the reproductive organs and the breasts, and clinical correlations help explain the role of radiology within the context of women's overall health. This book is filled with practical, authoritative information that is immediately relevant to the day-to-day work of practicing radiologists.

This book is a concise introduction to the field of interventional radiology (IR), designed to help medical students and residents understand the fundamental concepts related to image-guided interventional procedures and determine the appropriate use of imaging modalities in the treatment of various disorders. It covers the history of interventional radiology; radiation safety; equipment; medications; and techniques such as biopsy and drainage, vascular access, embolization, and tumor ablation. The book also describes the indications, patient preparation, post-procedure care, and complications for the most common interventional radiology procedures. This second edition is fully updated throughout with the latest guidelines and recommendations. Specific updates include: the role of IR outpatient clinics and patient-centered care, prostatic artery embolization, Y90 embolization, embolization for joint disease, the role artificial intelligence plays in IR, and a new chapter on structured reporting in IR. Designed for students and trainees, chapters include key points or “tips and tricks” and review questions. This is an ideal guide for medical students and trainees interested in pursuing interventional radiology.

This book provides a state-of-the-art review of the technical and clinical aspects of the vascular interventional radiological (IR) procedures currently employed in obstetrics and gynaecology. A particular focus is on uterine artery embolisation for fibroid disease, which is contrasted with the main alternative uterus-conserving surgical approach of myomectomy, and with ablation therapy. Detailed consideration is also given to the role of embolisation in a variety of other less common conditions, including arteriovenous malformations, post-partum haemorrhage, abnormal placentation and pelvic congestion syndrome. IR procedures are examined from a critical gynaecological perspective and with regard to surgical alternatives. The authors include leading interventional radiologists and gynaecologists from the United Kingdom, Europe and North America.
