Gli autori di Diagnostica per immagini e Radioterapia, considerati tra le voci più autorevoli della Radiologia, della Medicina Nucleare e della Radioterapia, hanno fatto confluire nell’opera le loro esperienze didattiche e cliniche, costruite in un tirocinio pluridecennale «sul campo» enfatizzato il ruolo delle metodiche e tecniche impostesi negli ultimi anni, rispecchiando il viraggio delle tecniche di acquisizione delle immagini dall’analogico al digitale e l’affinarsi della selettività spaziale della Radioterapia; tutto ciò alla luce dei principi della Medicina basata sulle evidenze. I 48 capitoli e le 7 appendici del volume sono corredati da tabelle, disegni e più di 1300 immagini diagnostiche, per lo più multiple, di cui 150 a colori.   ✔✔Nella prima sezione, Formazione di immagini corporee, sono considerati i diversi tipi di immagini clinicamente rilevanti, le modalità di produzione e il loro significato biofisico. ✔✔Nella seconda sezione, Semeiotica e diagnostica sistematiche, sono considerati – apparato per apparato, organo per organo – gli aspetti anatomici, le possibilità e i limiti delle diverse tecniche di formazione di immagini, i principali tipi di patologia. ✔✔Nella terza sezione, Fondamenti di radioterapia, sono considerate le modalità d’uso delle radiazioni ionizzanti nella cura dei tumori e di alcune affezioni non tumorali. ✔✔Le Appendici prospettano importanti problematiche specifiche: la Radioprotezione in ambito sanitario, nella quale sono formalizzate la complessa dottrina della radioprotezione, la problematica e i principi della Teleradiologia, il teleconsulto e la telediagnosi, lo stato attuale delle Immagini e terapie molecolari, la problematica controversa delle tecniche utilizzanti gli infrarossi descritta in Tra termografia e DITI. ✔✔Nei vari capitoli è stato enfatizzato il ruolo delle metodiche e tecniche impostesi negli ultimi anni, rispecchiando il viraggio delle tecniche di acquisizione delle immagini dall’analogico al digitale e l’affinarsi della selettività spaziale della Radioterapia; tutto ciò alla luce dei principi della Medicina basata sulle evidenze, specificamente affrontati nelle Appendici 0 (Imaging basato sulle evidenze e performance diagnostica), 2 (Guida alle linee guida) e 6 (Il medico e l’immagine).
