Percutaneous, image-guided interventions are a well established and effective tool in clinical routine. These include percutaneous biopsies, drainage, pain management as well as complex techniques for tumour ablation. Interventional radiology is a demanding subject that requires well trained medical professionals. This book covers indications, materials and execution of the most important image-guided interventions. A combination of detailed descriptions and figures comprehensively describes how to perform the wide variety of interventions. Moreover, this book is also suited as a reference for interventional radiologists.
