Disease whether it is acute, chronic, or at end stage, is all
too regularly accompanied by pain. Pain is often difficult to
control, in malignant disease in particular, even by using
appropriate medications. Anesthesiologists and pain therapists have
developed new invasive therapies including nerve block,
sympatholysis, and neurolysis useful for both diagnosis and pain
management. To insure the efficiency and safety of these
procedures, and furthermore for elaborate techniques such as
vertebroplasty, cementoplasty, and radio frequency bone ablation,
imaging guidance becomes mandatory. This state-of-the-art book
describes the techniques elaborated by interventional radiologists
in the treatment and palliation of a variety of benign and
malignant painful conditions. Each chapter written by an expert in
the field concentrates on a particular aspect of pain management,
with emphasis on practical issues. This book will serve as an
invaluable source of information for the radiologist willing to
learn about new pain therapy techniques aimed at optimizing or
replacing more invasive traditional methods.
