Publisher's Synopsis
Following the development of new technology procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, imaging has become increasingly invasive. With this comes a wider range of complications. This volume covers all complications seen in diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, from general problems such as parenteral contrast agents, the pregnant patient and resuscitation, to specifics associated with particular procedures in the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, and genitourinary systems. Adult and paediatric problems are equally covered. Risk identification and management, quality assurance and legal aspects are also discussed. The third edition has expanded by about 30%, with all chapters assiduously revised, and several – including those on lasers, infections, thrombolytic therapy, quality assurance, and interventional GI and neuroradiology – completely new. Most (over 30) of the contributors are new to the project and reflect the top names in radiology. A new format provides for three major sections: General Considerations, Organ Systems, and Risk Identification and Management.
