Radiologia

This text encompasses the most essential information in the field of pediatric radiology in a concise, easy-to-use source. Highly focused, succinct chapters, organized by symptom, help readers to select the most appropriate imaging approaches and arrive at correct diagnoses based on patients' presenting signs. Most significantly, the book separates coverage of neonates from material on older infants and children, since radiographic presentation differs so dramatically between these two groups.

This book provides a concise, yet thorough overview of the radiographic evaluation of a full range of commonly encountered gastrointestinal disease entities. For each segment of the gastrointestinal tract, readers will find a summary of the relevant radiographic anatomy, imaging techniques, and indications for radiographic examination...discussions of which imaging examinations are indicated for optimal evaluation of specific disease processes...and explanations of what to look for in the resultant images.

This richly illustrated book provides a comprehensive survey of the growing role of medical imaging studies in the detection, staging, grading, tissue characterization, and post-treatment follow-up of soft tissue tumors. For each tumor group, imaging findings are correlated with clinical, epidemiologic, and histologic data. The relative merits and indications of various imaging modalities are discussed and compared. Particular emphasis is placed on MRI because of its unique contrast resolution and multiplanar imaging capabilities. This second, revised and updated edition includes new chapters on soft tissue lymphoma, soft tissue tumors in the pediatric patient and biopsy of soft tissue tumors. It aims to serve both as a systematic, descriptive textbook and as a rich pictorial database of soft tissue masses. This clinically oriented book will be of use not only to radiologists but also to orthopedic surgeons, oncologists and pathologists.

Here is an informative guide for interventionalists and generalists on the radiologic placement of venous access devices. This handy paperback book provides practical advice on assessing patients, selecting the appropriate device, caring for the catheter, preventing and managing complications, and setting up a line service in the radiology suite. The authors offer specific instructions on techniques for placing all types of devices - implantable ports, tunneled catheters, PICC lines, hemodialysis access catheters, and acute temporary care devices.

Radiologic Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest provides a superb, concise overview of the radiologic manifestations of chest disease. This unique book is a radiologic companion to Fraser & Pare's Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest, 4th Edition. An abbreviated approach to the subject matter provides only the most essential etiologic, pathogenetic, clinical, and pathologic information. This is the ideal title for all physicians requiring a concise review of the radiologic manifestations of chest disease. Several new illustrations and numerous tables have been added, and information has been updated throughout.

The editor of "Spinal Imaging" is an authority on imaging of the spine and the spinal cord. This book gathers a number of international contributors to present a cutting-edge view of traditional and new imaging modalities. The focus of the book is on the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of various imaging modalities.

This is a basic primer for trainees, covering fundamental information on paediatric imaging techniques and interpretation, for both radiology and paediatrics.

Paediatric Ultasound provides trainee and practising radiographers and radiologists, and indeed all healthcare personnel involved in taking and interpreting paediatric ultrasound scans, with a practical and detailed grounding in the techniques and diagnostic applications of ultrasound imaging in children. Written by an experienced team of radiologists and sonographers, it focuses on the principles of best practice, the key topics and the common problems encountered as the technologist and clinician acquire the fundamental skills of equipment selection and image optimisation. Up-to-date, and illustrated profusely throughout, in colour where necessary, this book will serve the sonographer and clinician alike as a clear, concise and authoritative reference to the practice of paediatric ultrasound.

This new and up-dated edition of Radiologic Diagnosis of Chest Disease reflects the exceptional developments in diagnostic imaging in recent years. It offers the latest professional view from leading international experts and is based on the extensive experience resulting from the close co-operation between clinicians and diagnostic radiologists treating this important group of diseases. The book is divided in three parts, including normal anatomy, imaging techniques and clinical and radiological details on numerous diseases. It covers a broad readership and is of great interest to specialists in internal and chest medicine, thoracic surgery, radiology, pathology, immunology, oncology, etc., as well as to the trainees in these fields.

L’ organizzazione di questo trattato si basa su una descrizione abbastanza omogenea delle singole patologie, che copre l’ epidemiologia, l’ eziologia e la patogenesi, le caratteristiche anatomopatologiche, le manifestazioni radiologiche, le manifestazioni cliniche, i reperti di laboratorio (inclusi gli esami di funzionalità polmonare), la prognosi e la storia naturale.In che cosa la presente edizione si differenzia dalle precedenti? Abbiamo già accennato alla maggiore importanza che viene data alla HRCT (high-resolution computed tomography) e all’ aggiunta di molte nuove illustrazioni. Sono state incluse anche parecchie figure di esami istologici nel tentativo di spiegare meglio le basi anatomiche delle malattie. Oltre al vasto aggiornamento del materiale delle precedenti edizioni, sono state scritte nuove sezioni sulla TC del polmone normale, sul trapianto polmonare, sugli effetti dell’infezione da virus dell’ immunodeficienza umana (HIV) sul torace e sulle sindromi emorragiche polmonari. La sezione sulle neoplasie polmonari è stata riorganizzata per una maggiore conformità con l’ ultima classificazione dei tumori polmonari dell’ Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità. Le tabelle sulle diagnosi differenziali sono state semplificate in modo da includervi soprattutto le malattie che gli pneumologi incontrano con maggiore frequenza; oltre a fornire un maggior numero di esempi illustrativi, si spera che questa versione offra una guida più semplice e pratica alla diagnosi differenziale dei quadri radiologici toracici di più frequente riscontro.Per rendere il testo più accessibile al lettore, i 21 capitoli delle precedenti tre edizioni sono stati aumentati a 79. Abbiamo anche raggruppato i capitoli in grandi categorie in base alla localizzazione anatomica o alla presunta eziologia e patogenesi; questo raggruppamento è in parte arbitrario, ma si spera consentirà al lettore di accedere con maggiore facilità alle informazioni appropriate. Ciò che noi offriamo nelle seguenti pagine è un concetto della patologia toracica e un approccio alla sua diagnosi basati sull’ esperienza combinata di quattro persone e sulla loro conoscenza di osservazioni documentate.

Lo studio morfologico del tratto digerente superiore è attualmente affidato essenzialmente all’endoscopia. Gli esami radiografici con mdc baritato sono ormai rari, il che rende difficile acquisire un’esperienza sufficiente per un’interpretazione di qualità. Il loro interesse radiologico rinasce per l’ecografia, la TC e perfino la RM e diventa necessario integrare permanentemente i reperti endoluminali (radiologici ed endoscopici) per migliorare la qualità diagnostica e l’efficacia dell’imaging. Il primo capitolo presenta le tecniche di imaging specifiche per l’esplorazione dell’apparato digerente superiore, le loro indicazioni e controindicazioni. Per ogni organo (esofago, stomaco e duodeno), si fa successivamente il punto sulle tecniche di imaging da utilizzare e la semeiotica delle immagini così ottenute. Le principali patologie sono trattate dettagliatamente: tumori, lesioni infiammatorie, malattie ulcerative, patologie di origine vascolare ed infettiva. I radiologi specializzandi o specialisti ma anche i gastroenterologi ed i chirurgi dell’apparato digerente troveranno in questo volume ricco di immagini gli elementi per perfezionare le loro conoscenze sull’imaging dell’apparato digerente superiore. Gerard Schmutz è professore universitario, medico ospedaliero e responsabile del Servizio di Radiologia Generale del CHU di Caen.
