Radiologia

Volume formato 21,5 x 28 di 128 pagine, con numerose illustrazioni.Lo studio del piccolo intestino rappresenta l’ultima frontiera del radiologo in gastroenterologia.L’avvento della tomografia computerizzata multidetettore (TCMD) ha consentito di eliminare la presenza degli artefatti legati alla peristalsi intestinale ed ha permesso un’idonea valutazione del contrast enhancement delle anse e del mesentere.L’attenzione del radiologo, dapprima limitata agli organi parenchimali dell’addome, si rivolge ora alla valutazione del piccolo intestino, finalmente non più considerato come elemento di disturbo. La TCMD è diventata attualmente l’esame più diffuso nello studio dell’intestino tenue.Lo scopo di questo volume è quello di presentare una trattazione ampia e completa della semeiotica TC delle principali malattie del piccolo intestino, arricchita da un’importante iconografia.La novità della pubblicazione risiede nell’affrontare sia la patologia di elezione che quella di urgenza. In tal modo, l’opera può soddisfare le esigenze del radiologo professionista e dello specializzando in radiodiagnostica, nonché del gastroenterologo, del chirurgo generale e di quello che opera in condizioni di urgenza e di emergenza.

Here's the multidisciplinary guidance you need for optimal imaging of malignancies. Radiologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists offer state-of-the-art guidelines for diagnosis, staging, and surveillance, equipping all members of the cancer team to make the best possible use of today's noninvasive diagnostic tools.

The horizons of sophisticated imaging have expanded with the use of combined positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT). PET-CT has revolutionized medical imaging by adding anatomic localization to functional imaging, thus providing physicians with information that is vital for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of pathologies. Since the integration of PET and CT several years ago, PET/CT procedures are now routine at leading medical centers throughout the world. This has increased the importance of nuclear medicine physicians acquiring a broad knowledge in sectional anatomy for image interpretation. The Atlas of Sectional Radiological Anatomy for PET/CT is a user-friendly guide presenting high-resolution, full-color images of anatomical detail and focuses solely on normal FDG distribution throughout the head & neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, the primary sites for cancer detection and treatment through PET/CT.

Designed for both in-depth study as well as quick reference, Neuroradiology Cases covers the field of brain imaging through 192 concise and clinically relevant cases. Part of the Cases in Radiology series, this book follows the easy-to-learn case format of question and answer, complete with concise summaries and a generous amount of top-quality images. Following the format of the American Board of Radiology examinations, cases are grouped into three sections: Brain, Spine, and Ear, Nose, and Throat. Within each section, cases are randomly ordered and include challenging examples of common diseases as well as typical examples of less common ones. This collection of cases is ideal for the resident preparing for the boards, the fellow for the CAQ exam, or the radiologist in need of a quick review.

Diagnostic errors are important in all branches of medicine because they are an indication of poor patient care. As the number of malpractice cases continues to grow, radiologists will become increasingly involved in litigation. The aetiology of radiological error is multi-factorial. This book focuses on: some medico-legal aspects inherent to radiology (radiation exposure related to imaging procedures and malpractice issues related to contrast media administration are discussed in detail) and on; the spectrum of diagnostic errors in radiology. Communication issues between the radiologists and physicians and between the radiologists and patients are also presented. Every radiologist should understand the sources of error in diagnostic radiology as well as the elements of negligence that form the basis of malpractice litigation.

Cross-sectional imaging plays an ever-increasing role in the management of the acutely ill patient. There is 24/7 demand for radiologists at all levels of training to interpret complex scans, and alongside this an increased expectation that the requesting physician should be able to recognise important cross-sectional anatomy and pathology in order to expedite patient management. Emergency Cross-sectional Radiology addresses both these expectations. Part I demystifies cross-sectional imaging techniques. Part II describes a wide range of emergency conditions in an easy-to-read bullet point format. High quality images reinforce the findings, making this an invaluable rapid reference in everyday clinical practice. Emergency Cross-sectional Radiology is a practical aide-memoire for emergency medicine physicians, surgeons, acute care physicians and radiologists in everyday reporting or emergency on-call environments.

A 36-year-old housewife presents in the emergency department complaining of progressively increasing breathlessness over the last two weeks, accompanied by wheeze and a productive cough. You are the medic on duty...100 Cases in Radiology presents 100 radiological anomalies commonly seen by medical students and junior doctors on the ward, in outpatient clinics or in the emergency department. A succinct summary of the patient's history, examination and initial investigations, including imaging photographs, is followed by questions on the diagnosis and management of each case. The answer includes a detailed discussion of each topic, with further illustration where appropriate, providing an essential revision aid as well as a practical guide for students and junior doctors. Making clinical decisions and choosing the best course of action is one of the most challenging and difficult parts of training to become a doctor. These cases will teach students and junior doctors to recognize important radiological signs, and the medical and/or surgical conditions to which these relate, and to develop their diagnostic and management skills.

The value of this atlas is to provide appropriate standards for the maturing skeleton {that} will enhance accuracy and ease interpretation -- From the Foreword by Theodore E. Keats, MD, Former Alumni Professor of Radiology, University of Virginia Health Sciences Center When dealing with the maturing skeleton and its many complex growth alterations, physicians are constantly faced with the question: Is this image normal? The Radiographic Atlas of Skeletal Maturation succinctly answers that question by providing a comprehensive set of male and female reference images for every age and body part. This allows physicians to quickly hone in on normal ranges for the specific case they are reviewing--particularly useful when called upon to read a pediatric skeletal radiograph in the emergency room or while on call. Special Features: * Access to nearly 2,300 high-quality images that provide instant reference to normal views of the skeleton at every developmental milestone-available in both the text and accompanying DVD * Multiple projections at every age, sex, and body part combination so that the user can match the reference points in the book to the case at hand and arrive at a solid clinical interpretation * Practical text layout organized by gender and body part that provides quick access to images of normal development at any given age * A software virtual skeletal survey demonstrates images of younger and older individuals and crystallizes the subtle variations in growth patterns * Powerful software package with advanced image enhancement tools allows optimization of atlas image details for greater clarity. Compatible with numerous image formats (including DICOM) allowing viewing and editing of outside images * Convenient growth charts included in the book and DVD This unique resource, with its vast collection of print and DVD images of normal progressive skeletal development, gives physicians the full range of comparative information they need to interpret pediatric skeletal radiographs in any clinical setting. It is the reference standard for radiologists, pediatricians, orthopedists, emergency room physicians, internists, rehabilitation physicians, and training physicians who are called upon to review a pediatric radiograph and confidently make a diagnosis.
