Sommario/riassunto

There has been a step change in pain control in recent years thanks to improved imaging that allows for greater targeting of analgesia technique. However these procedures are not yet fully incorporated into practice. This book will take real-life photos from procedural steps allied to 3D CT anatomic scans to show the procedures towards effective pain management. Structured by anatomical location, the book will cover all the important interventional pain procedures in practice.
