Product Description: Never before has essential diagnostic guidance been so quick and convenient to access! In conjunction with Amirsys Inc., W.B. Saunders is pleased to present a new family of pocket-sized diagnostic imaging resources unlike any other clinical references available. These titles are being offered both in paperback format, and as software for personal digital assistants (PDAs). Each volume explores the 100 most important diagnoses in a particular radiologic specialty. And, each volume features the authorship of a prominent expert in that specific area. Consistent, bulleted guidelines and crisply reproduced images make it remarkably easy to instantly confirm or rule out a diagnosis. The result is an on-the-go source for the information radiologists need to interpret images with confidence.
16 volumes cover a wide range of radiologic specialties, including musculoskeletal imaging · head and neck imaging · neuroimaging · chest imaging · ultrasound · cardiac imaging · spine imaging · vascular imaging · pediatric imaging · gastrointestinal/genitourinary imaging · and emergency imaging.
Two different formats suit the needs of any practitioner:
The PDA versions of these resourcessimple to install on any Palm® or Pocket PC are extremely user-friendly and require very little practice to use. They can be purchased on a retail CD-ROM or downloaded from the Website: www.PocketRadiologist.com

Book Description: Emory Univ., Atlanta, GA. Text aimed at bridging the gap between neurosurgical textbooks and scientific journals. Addresses the classification and historical evolution of concepts about spinal vascular malformations. Color and halftone illustrations. For neurosurgeons.
Product Description: Recent clinical experience and tremendous technical advances make it more imperative than ever that operators performing embolization have a sound background in functional neuroanatomy and clinical evaluation in addition to technical training. This book provides a description of vascular anatomy that will permit the accurate assessment of variations and functional territories and will make the prediction of the risks and management of cerebral vascular disease possible. Through this type of anatomical analysis every potential arrangement in cerebral vascular development can be predicted. Thus, endovascular procedures in the spinal cord and brain can be best planned and performed. Pierre Lasjaunias, Alejandro Berenstein, and Karel ter Brugge are highly committed to both research and teaching in the clinical field of neurovascular diseases. The first volume of the second edition of Surgical Neuroangiography combines the previous volumes 1 and 3 in one book.
Product Description: This practical, pocket-sized handbook shows readers how to perform common therapeutic interventions. An easy-to-read outline format makes this complex subject easier to understand. An international team of specialists reviews traditional procedures as well as more specialized interventions, including laser angioplasty, atherectomy and stent implantation, discussing techniques, cautionary highpoints and outcomes. The 2nd Edition also offers coverage of peripheral vascular disease.
Discusses the management of common patient problem, highlighting cautions and outcomes.

This volume focusses on the current evidence surrounding the use of endovascular therapy. It updates and complements the earlier Medical Radiology volume on the Radiology of Peripheral Vascular Diseases. Some background information is provided on vascular biology and the facilities required for safe endovascular practice, along with guidance on consent issues. Further chapters deal with endovascular treatment in particular arterial territories, and include the evidence in favour of or against the use of specific treatments. The most up-to-date evidence surrounding endovascular aneurysm repair is discussed. There are also chapters on venous interventions, including the endovascular management of varicose veins. This book will be of value both to interventional radiologists and to vascular surgeons with an interest in endovascular techniques.
Over the past decades, the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases have been benefited significantly from intensive research activities. In order to provide a comprehensive "manual" in a field that has become as broad and deep as cardiovascular medicine, this volume of "Methods in Molecular Medicine" covers a wide spectrum of in vivo and in vitro techniques encompassing biochemical, pharmacological and molecular biology disciplines which are currently used to assess vascular disease progression. Each chapter included in this volume focuses on a specific vascular biology technique and describes various applications as well as caveats of these techniques. The protocols included here are described in detail, allowing beginners with little experience in the field of vascular biology to embark on new research projects.
Product Description: If you are one of the many physicians from different specialty disciplines who perform endovascular interventions then this practical reference will help you to develop your endovascular skills and encompass them into daily practice.
Endovascular Therapy covers everything you need to know about creating an endovascular program, such as imaging, catheter and device inventory, nursing support, and technician support.
In addition, this book provides a basic knowledge of the pathophysiology of vascular disease, interventional techniques, and endovascular modalities of various disease categories. Each individual disease and endovascular therapy is discussed and emphasis is placed on the relevant complications associated with the wide spectrum of endovascular interventions.
Also included are step-by-step guides to procedure conduct, tips and tricks, procedure specific equipment lists, and recommended post procedure orders and follow up.
Product Description: A team of nearly 80 internationally respected vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists deliver comprehensive, clinically focused coverage of all aspects of vascular surgery in an exceptionally well-designed single reference. Each disease chapter follows the same consistent formatfrom basic science, clinical presentation and non-invasive and invasive testing through medical and surgical management to complications, outcome and follow upmaking information easy to access and easy to understand. More than 730 full-color photographs, line drawings and tables illustrate key concepts and procedures. And, a bonus CD-ROM features all of the book's illustrations for use in slide presentations.
