IR Playbook - A Comprehensive Introduction to Interventional Radiology: A Book Review

Abstract

This textbook is intended to provide a sufficient level of resolution to acquaint both medical students and resident physicians with the field of interventional radiology (IR). It is divided into two main parts. The first part explores IR basics—including a very practical chapter complete with photographs and diagrams introducing common needles, catheters, wires, embolic agents,  balloons, and stents employed by interventional radiologists. The second part deals with broad categories of diseases with the individual chapters focusing on specific disease entities and methods of treatment.
