Quick and thorough review of vascular diagnosis, vascular interventions and nonvascular interventions divides cases into three levels of difficulty for ease of reference. Imaging now moves from strictly diagnosis to encompass aggressive treatment of conditions that once required surgery. Discussion details techniques used for biopsies, draining fluids, inserting catheters, and dilating or stenting narrowed ducts or vessels. The procedures included allow readers to significantly reduce risk, pain, and recovery time in patients requiring no general anesthesia or overnight hospital stay. Over 350 images enhance understanding of the text. Cross-references to VASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY: THE REQUISITES
