This book provides an extensive review of a wide range of procedures in interventional radiology illustrated through case examples. Although the cases may be studied in isolation, this book may also be used as a complement to the complete textbook, Image-Guided Interventions.
In 2008, Elsevier released, as part of the Expert Radiology series, a comprehensive, two-volume text on the field of interventional radiology, Image-Guided Interventions, edited by Matthew A. Mauro, Kieran P.J. Murphy, Kenneth R. Thomson, Anthony C. Venbrux, and Christoph L. Zollikofer. This textbook, written by many of the world's leading experts in interventional radiology, encompasses information about a wide range of procedures commonly performed in the interventional radiology suite in a state-of-the-art and practical format. The Teaching Files: Interventional illustrates many of these procedures as “real-world” examples.
I have attempted to bring together cases that illustrate both vascular and nonvascular interventions, combining customary techniques and novel approaches. Each case was identified through an exhaustive search of the University of North Carolina teaching file, looking for examples with instructive imaging and constructive clinical information. I did not shy away from cases with complications and adverse outcomes. Instead, these were included to show how these situations may present and be managed.
As the primary author and editor of this book, I would like to thank my colleagues who helped and supported me through this process and helped contribute to writing of several of the cases. In addition, past and present colleagues performed the majority of the included procedures, and again, I am thankful for their expertise. I would also like to thank the many former residents and fellows who participated in quite a few of these cases and from whom I have learned as much or more about interventional radiology as I have been able to teach.
In conclusion, this is a book about interventional radiology that teaches by examples. The reader may use this book in isolation or as an adjunct to the larger text Image-Guided Interventions.
