This is precisely the approach taken by Samer Narouze and his team of writers. In 6 sections comprising 30 chapters and more than 350 pages, they point out what ultrasound technology can contribute to interventional pain medicine—and they do this in a systematic, detailed, clear, and refined manner, thereby opening up a viable and up-to-date avenue for pain physicians to go “back to the roots.” Before guidance using large medical imaging devices such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scanners came into play, pain physicians performed diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic nerve blocks using anatomical landmarks and, later, electrical stimulation.
