While physiatrists, neurologists, orthopedists, and radiologists are performing interventional techniques for pain management in ever-increasing numbers, advanced techniques are not adequately taught in the majority of physician training programs. To fill the gap, Raj (Texas Tech U. Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, International Pain Institute, Lubbock, Texas) has written an easy-to-follow, step-by-step training manual on advanced intervention techniques, with a special emphasis on radiographic imaging as a safe way of doing these procedures. Illustrated with 200 crisp line drawings and radiographic images.
