Overview

This fully updated new edition is a comprehensive guide to interventional radiology (IR) for medical students, residents, early career attendings, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. The IR Playbook includes procedures, new and updated data, and new images, to stay on the cutting edge of IR. As a specialty, IR is constantly changing and evolving to apply newer technologies and techniques to a breadth of disease pathologies. This book addresses the growing need for a reference for trainees and early career professionals to gain a solid foundation. Let this book serve as your only resource from the first day you find out about IR to the day you take your certifying exam. One and done.

The textbook is divided into two main sections, with many images and key point boxes throughout that offer high-yield pearls along with the specific How To's necessary for practice. The first section is designed to give readers an introduction to IR, including radiation safety, commonly used devices, patient care, and anatomy. The second portion is divided by procedure. These chapters cover pathophysiology, indications for treatment, as well as alternative treatments before delving into interventional therapy. This new edition has been fully updated throughout including several brand-new procedures and divided chapters to allow a more in depth look at several disease pathologies. IR Playbook gives medical students, residents, and trainees a full perspective of interventional radiology.

Editorial Reviews

"This textbook is intended to provide a sufficient level of resolution to acquaint both medical students and resident physicians with the field of interventional radiology (IR). … readable prose, high-quality radiologic images, and easy-to-understand diagrams making concepts accessible to novice trainees. Throughout the book there are convenient ‘How To’ text boxes that contain concise descriptions of procedures in a stepwise fashion.” (Samuel Armstrong, Radiology, Vol. 3 (1), 2019)

“This is a high-quality, educational book presented in an excellent manner to appeal to medical students and radiology residents. The detailed presentation of the information makes the book a fundamental resource for residents, and it fills a void in interventional radiology books dedicated specifically to radiology trainees.” (Daniel Hynes, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2018)
