Atlas of Image-Guided Spinal Procedures

Description

The second edition of Atlas of Image-Guided Spinal Procedures features a highly visual atlas format to illustrate exactly how to perform each technique. This medical reference walks you through each procedure, step-by-step, to safely and efficiently relieve patients' pain. This book presents an algorithmic, image-guided approach for each technique; trajectory view (demonstrates fluoroscopic "setup"); multiplanar confirmation views (AP, lateral, oblique); and "safety view" (what should be avoided during injection), along with optimal and suboptimal contrast patterns. Each fluoroscopic and ultrasound chapter also has the same "voice" so it is easy to follow. Safely and efficiently relieve your patients' pain with consistent, easy-to-follow chapters that guide you through each technique Presents an algorithmic, image-guided approach for each technique: trajectory view (demonstrates fluoroscopic "setup"); multiplanarconfirmation views (AP, lateral, oblique); and "safety view" (what should be avoided during injection), along with optimal and suboptimal contrast patterns Special chapters on Needle Techniques, Procedural Safety, Fluoroscopic and Ultrasound Imaging Pearls, Radiation Safety, and L5-S1 Disc Access provide additional visual instruction View drawings of radiopaque landmarks and key radiolucent anatomy that cannot be viewed fluoroscopically Videos including procedural "set-up" and optimal and suboptimal constrast flow are available in the Expert Consult eBook version Review: Great Atlas!! - This is a must-have for all Interventional Pain physicians! it walks you through the steps of the procedures with easy-to-follow guides on how to obtain the views and keep the patient safe as well. I wish i had this earlier in my fellow ship but still a great buy nonetheless. Review: Extremely happy with this purchase - Extremely happy with this purchase. I've had the 1st ed for quite some time now which has been my go-to atlas for image-guided procedures throughout fellowship and now as an attending. The 2nd ed has a lot of additional content in terms of US-guided procedures. Also, a number of new fluoroscopic procedures have been added including: different caudal ESI approaches, repair of sacral insufficiency fractures, occipital nerve blocks, peripheral joint injections, and iliac crest marrow aspiration. I’d highly recommend this purchase for those in training as well as those looking to expand their interventional skillset.
