Radiologia

In print since 1972, this seventh edition of "Radiobiology for the Radiologist" is the most extensively revised to date. It consists of two sections, one for those studying or practicing diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and radiation oncology; the other for those engaged in the study or clinical practice of radiation oncology - a new chapter, on radiologic terrorism, is specifically for those in the radiation sciences who would manage exposed individuals in the event of a terrorist event. The 17 chapters in Section I represent a general introduction to radiation biology and a complete, self-contained course especially for residents in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine that follows 'the Syllabus in Radiation Biology of the RSNA'. The 11 chapters in Section II address more in-depth topics in radiation oncology, such as cancer biology, retreatment after radiotherapy, chemotherapeutic agents and hyperthermia. Now in full color, this lavishly illustrated new edition is replete with tables and figures that underscore essential concepts. Each chapter concludes with a "summary of pertinent conclusions" to facilitate quick review and help readers retain important information.

"Musculoskeletal Anatomy" is the first title in the brand new "Netter's Correlative Imaging series". Series editor and specialist in musculoskeletal imaging Dr. Nancy Major and coauthor, Michael Malinzak, presents Netter's beautiful and instructive paintings and illustrated cross sections created in the Netter style side-by-side with high-quality patient MR images created with commonly used pulse sequences to help you visualize the anatomy section by section. With in-depth coverage and concise descriptive text for at-a-glance information and access to correlated images online, this atlas is a comprehensive reference that's ideal for today's busy imaging specialists.

[It] is a great value and easy purchase for any resident or practing ENT specialists who will no doubt have occasion to reference it again and again. --Medical Science Books May 2011 Imaging for Otolaryngologists distils the essentials of otolaryngologic imaging into a concise reference that concentrates on key topics that are of immediate interest to otolaryngologists practicing in a modern clinical environment. Prepared by a renowned otolaryngologist, and reviewed and supplemented by expert radiologists, the book provides a well-rounded perspective. The central focus is on image interpretation, including the disease-specific characteristics, the features necessary for successful diagnosis, and the implications for surgery. Each of the 465 high-quality images is clearly labeled, and where appropriate comparisons are made between CT scans and MR images to show complementary functions and limitations. Imaging for Otolaryngologists helps readers: * Evaluate the cross-sectional anatomy in rhinology, otology, and laryngology on plain films, CT scans, and MR images * Appreciate the contribution and limitations of plain films, CT, and MRI in the management of otolaryngologic diseases * Select the best imaging modality for chronic, acute, and emergency otolaryngologic conditions * Understand which radiological appearances to look for in the diagnosis of common and less common otolaryngologic diseases

«La moderna Diagnostica per Immagini trova il suo fondamento nella rivoluzione tecnologica che ha consentito di applicare alla misurazione dei fenomeni quel processo di conversione noto come digitalizzazione. In particolare, se prima l'anatomia radiologica era principalmente bidimensionale, ora è diventata quadridimensionale in quanto, oltre a poter visualizzare nella sua tridimensionalità il corpo umano, oggi, è possibile "navigare" all'interno degli organi cavi e visualizzare nel minimo dettaglio le alterazioni patologiche. E inoltre, fatto ancor più importante, le nuove tecnologie consentono di poter valutare la funzione e il metabolismo dei diversi organi e tessuti. Con esse è infatti possibile individuare e caratterizzare le alterazioni metaboliche e funzionali, prima che sopraggiunga l'alterazione tissutale macroscopica. Grazie a queste innovazioni la Radiologia ha dunque rivoluzionato le linee guida della Medicina Moderna nei suoi diversi versanti: preventivo, diagnostico, terapeutico. Ad indicare il cambiamento, il termine Radiologia è stato sostituito dal termine Diagnostica per Immagini, che tuttavia risulta oggi piuttosto limitante. Il termine Diagnostica per Immagini ricomprende infatti una moltitudine di discipline a carattere diagnostico e a carattere terapeutico (come la Radioterapia e le tecniche di Radiologia Interventistica), dalle quali la medicina moderna non può più prescindere.» (Dalla Prefazione alla terza edizione).

This textbook covers the fundamental principles of cardiovascular imaging modalities and their applications for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. The main focus is on the comprehensive diagnosis of clinical conditions/disease entities through the most effective cardiovascular imaging test or combination. The authors discuss the clinical utility and relative value of each test to address specific clinical questions, based on evidence and expert opinion. Each chapter presents information in the following format: overview, discussion of pathophysiology; differential diagnosis/diagnostic evaluation; prognosis; and therapeutic guidance with illustration of treatment pathway. A companion Website will offer the full text, ten multiple-choice questions for each chapter, still and cine images, and imaging clips.

Imaging in emergenza-urgenza è una guida di consultazione rapida, semplice ed esauriente per il radiologo che presta servizio in un DEA o in un Pronto Soccorso. Elaborato da specialisti radiologi e dal corpo docenti del Johns Hopkins, questo manuale fornisce informazioni pratiche in un formato rapidamente accessibile. Il manuale di Radiologia pone in evidenza: - La selezione della modalità di imaging più adeguata - La scelta del protocollo più appropriato - L'identificazione dei reperti chiave necessari a formulare la diagnosi - L'individuazione delle complicanze fatali - Come evitare gli errori più comuni. La 2a edizione, ulteriormente ed estesamente aggiornata, comprende figure ed immagini che illustrano gli elementi chiave della presentazione e delle complicanze della varie patologie. Si trovano, inoltre, riferimenti pratici e una guida alle procedure fondamentali praticate spesso dal radiologo nelle emergenze. È un .must. per gli specialisti radiologi e per lo staff medico-chirurgico che richiede indagini radiologiche. Le indagini radiologiche rappresentano una materia complessa, che comprende tutti gli organi ed apparati ed ogni genere di popolazione di pazienti.
