Interventional Radiology (IR) originated within diagnostic radiology as an invasive diagnostic subspecialty. IR is now a therapeutic and diagnostic specialty that comprises a wide range of minimally invasive image-guided therapeutic procedures as well as invasive diagnostic imaging. These procedures have less risk, less pain and less recovery time in comparison to open surgery. Interventional Radiology seeks to treat disease with the most minimally invasive techniques possible. IR physicians use images to guide tiny instruments, such as small needles, narrow tubes or catheters, inside the body to diseased areas. Interventional Radiology minimizes physical trauma and pain, reduces infection rates and speeds recovery time for patients. The success of diseases surveillance programmes also depends on the availability of diagnostic tools and facilities. This book presents a detailed and comprehensive account of conventional and modern techniques for diagnosis of major diseases. The book imparts many tricks and tips learned through many years of experience of triumph and disasters of carrying out intervention.
