Atlas of Spine Injection - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This practical and highly accessible new atlas illustrates the most commonly performed radiographically directed diagnostic and therapeutic spinal procedures with more than 550 images. Each chapter follows the same consistent format-beginning with a definition and review of the literature and progressing through the rationale for the procedure, the required equipment and supplies, and coverage of informed consent issues and patient selection to the how-tos of the procedure. The procedures are described with easy-to-follow tables. Skeletal radiographs demonstrating the pertinent anatomy on actual specimens are followed by multiple examples of both easy and challenging cases.
