This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

Truly a curious book. Has interventional computed tomography (CT) really expanded sufficiently to justify a complete and sizeable book? First glances at the list of contents raised high expectations; it includes not only the procedures usually practised under CT control but a wide range of techniques that will, I suspect, be new to some readers; in cancer care, pain relief and treatment of occlusive vascular disease. The authors are clearly prepared to place a needle absolutely anywhere in the body (but not the brain) under CT control and their ingenuity and wide experience are amply borne out by numerous case illustrations, which form the bulk of the book.
