Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This instructional book describes how to perform musculoskeletal injections using image guidance with actual image visualization. It reviews in detail how to perform each procedure ... and includes useful templates for accurate medical record documentation, billing, and coding. ... the book appears to be written for physicians in training or practicing physicians in fields that involve performance of musculoskeletal injections. ... The book is useful, with its step-by-step guide, illustrations that demonstrate actual patient position, fluoroscopic views, ultrasound views, and anatomic views using skeletal models." (Andrew L. Hendrix, Doody's Review Service, March, 2011)
