Download or read book Angiography Interventional Radiology written by Tom Anniston and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angiography is a medical imaging technique that is used to visualize the lumen of blood vessels and organs of the body, particularly the veins, arteries and heart chambers. The procedure is done by injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent into the blood stream of a patient, followed by X-ray based imaging like fluoroscopy. Depending on the area under observation, angiography can be of various types such as coronary angiography, fluorescein angiography, peripheral angiography, microangiography and post mortem CT angiography. It is done to identify narrowing vessels, visualize arterial and venous supply to the brain, visualize blood vessels and blood in the coronary arteries. This book elucidates new techniques and applications of interventional radiology in a multidisciplinary manner. It strives to provide a fair idea about angiography and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying radiology as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts.

Download or read book Navigation and Robotics in Spine Surgery written by Alexander R. Vaccaro and published by Thieme. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique how-to guide for spine surgeons on state-of-the-art computer-assisted navigation and robotic surgery techniques The past decade has seen major advances in image-guided spine surgery techniques, with robotically assisted approaches emerging in the last five years. While early adopters of this technology paved the way for more widespread use of navigated and robotic systems, barriers still exist. Navigation and Robotics in Spine Surgery by master spine surgeon Alexander Vaccaro and esteemed co-editors Jaykar Panchmatia, I. David Kaye, and Srinivas Prasad addresses existing issues such as the perception of increased upfront costs, intrusion on current workflow, and a lack of understanding about the potential ways these technologies can enhance the surgical experience and improve patient outcomes. Organized into six sections, the book starts with evidence-based fundamentals of navigated spine surgery and robotics including discussion of instrumentation and mechanics. Sections 2-5 serve as a surgical handbook for spine surgeons who wish to introduce these technologies into practice or augment their current repertoire with more complex techniques. Topics range from more routine procedures such as navigated and robotic minimally invasive TLIF to complex approaches like intraoperative ultrasound guided intradural spinal tumor resection. The final section looks at future directions and potential new applications for these technologies. Key Highlights An impressive group of international spine surgeons who pioneered navigation and robotic surgery techniques share invaluable tricks of the trade Discussion of fluoroscopy- and intraoperative CT-based platforms, applications for intraoperative sonography, and radiation exposure and minimization strategies Special topics include OR set-up and workflow, surmounting the learning curve, artificial intelligence, and lessons learned from other industries Procedural videos demonstrate the benefits of computer-assisted navigation and robotic techniques This book is essential reading for orthopaedic surgery and neurosurgery residents and spine fellows who wish to learn about and incorporate these technologies into practice. Seasoned spine surgeons seeking to expand the scope of their navigated/robotic practice will benefit from chapters detailing advanced approaches.
