Title: Interventional Radiology Guied for Technologists
Subtitle: IR principles do not change .. IR technologists do..
Description: When I began my journey in 1999, I often wished for a single resource to guide me through the challenges of Interventional Radiology. This book is dedicated to my fellow Interventional Radiology Technologists and stands as a testament to the importance of our profession. It is a technical guide written in the language of IR technologists, designed to support us in our daily practice and professional growth.

The foundation of Interventional Radiology lies in core technical principles that every technologist must understand. A strong grasp of these principles is essential for those seeking to refine their expertise and elevate their contribution to the field. For too long, IR technologists had to gather scattered information from multiple sources, without a dedicated reference addressing their unique needs. This book fills that gap, offering a comprehensive guide that unites the essential aspects of IR practice and helps technologists build and strengthen their professional knowledge base.

It also emphasizes the importance of documentation, research, and continuous learning. The technical components of IR often demand thorough explanation, yet without clear documentation, they can become confusing. This book not only underscores the value of precise documentation but also encourages technologists to contribute actively to the advancement of the field through writing, questioning established concepts, and publishing their own insights.

Ultimately, this guide is more than a reference, it is an invitation for IR technologists to take ownership of their professional development and to shape the future of our discipline.
