Customer Rating: 
Summary: Clearly Written, Excellent Text
Comment: All medical texts should be this good. Each topic is discussed thoroughly, in understandable language. Jargon is held to a minimum. The illustrations, radiographs and photographs are clear, and on the appropriate page (something a LOT of texts don't seem capable of achieving), Highly recommended.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Much more than pictures
Comment: This book includes lots and lots of extremely useful pictures, AND is a precise and complete "how-to" guide. It is also easy to use and pleasant to read. It is my best buy in the field, confirmed by more experienced practicioners.

Summary: Great book
Comment: I have recently received my book and am thrilled. I have seen it at several pain meetings, but hadn't pulled the trigger on which pain book would give me my most bang for the book (Waldman, Raj, etc.). Image-Guided Spine Intervention is an excellent book and accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do, that is being a "how-to" book with superb imaging. In fact, I have yet to see a book that has more clear images than this book. While there are a few things that are missing in this book (discographic manometry, kyphoplasty-although the book came out just as this was emerging), all in the book is well worth the price. Reading Dr. Petersohn's commentary I wonder if we received the same book. The book is a "how-to" book and therefore is not intended to give clinical algorithms, although I admit it would make it an even more comprehensive book. The authors made the patient positioning understandable by referring to the projection with relation to the patient as opposed to the direction of the x-ray beam, which can be confusing. Perhaps in future editions, both positioning techniques can be given. With cervical transforaminal injections, one does not need a limiting AP projection to make sure one does not have cord or subdural penetration. If you follow their positioning and technique and intentionally hit the superior articular process, then walk a few mm anteriorly, you will necessarily be in the correct position, which is confirmed with contrast. For thoracic facet injections, previous reports including Dreyfuss demonstrate that one needs to start well inferior to the facet joint and angle cephalad in order to enter the coronally oriented thoracic facets. This book describes a technique, which demonstrates that this does not need to be done and that one can take a straight AP approach (proven with a CT injection) and still get the contrast into the entire joint. Dr. Chua's thoracic medial branch anatomy was just published this last year and post-dates this book. I agree there is no reason to give steroid after a facet denervation. The chapter on pharmacology was adequate for all pain practitioners. The book never sets out to be something to study for the boards. The statement "may be appropropriate for radiologists or physiatrists" sounds fairly hostile as well. As for discography, their approach to lumbar discography is reasonable. NASS and ISIS are only GUIDELINES not standards and there is no proof that there is an increased infection rate with single STYLETTED needle discography vs. double needle technique. They do not complain about L5-S1 access, rather that it is more difficult and that double-needle technique is often unnecessary. It makes sense to perform discography with a single needle since the new intradiscal procedures are performed that way. The authors do not list "pseudoarthrosis" as a contraindication to discography, but do list a solid posterolateral bone fusion as one due to lack of access.
I, too, am looking forward to a second edition that may have more clinical algorithms; more interventional techniques and those things that the authors may find have changed or should be improved on. However, I think this book is an excellent first attempt and is a much-needed book no matter who wrote it.
