Interventional Radiology: Fundamentals of Clinical Practice
0
0
Author Description
In 2012, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) approved Interventional Radiology (IR) as its own specialty. Born out of the field of Diagnostic Radiology, IR requires a more clinical focus on initial consultation and post-procedural management, rather than its previous role of performing image-guided procedures. Interventional Radiology: Fundamentals of Clinical Practice is written with this new focus in mind to help readers incorporate their procedural knowledge into a holistic approach of patient management. Chapters explore topics across a broad spectrum of IR, with a focus on etiology and pathophysiology of disease, followed by discussions on intra-procedural and post-procedural management. Numerous tables and boxes, and over 420 total figures complement chapter content. This comprehensive text is a must-have for IR residents and all practicing interventional radiologists.

THE THESIS
This text addresses the transition of Interventional Radiology from a procedure-based support role to an independent clinical specialty requiring comprehensive patient management. The authors, Bradley B. Pua, Anne M. Covey, and David C. Madoff, utilize their expertise to bridge the gap between technical image-guided intervention and holistic clinical care. The book provides a structured framework for managing patients from initial consultation through post-procedural recovery, aligning with the standards set by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
