Current Controversies in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, An Issue of Radiologic Clinics of North America, E-Book


Book Description

In this issue of Radiologic Clinics, guest editors Drs. Douglas S. Katz and John J. Hines bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Current Evidence for Selected Topics in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology. Current evidence in radiology asks the question: what is the most appropriate imaging test on the basis of the best available evidence, the physician's experience, and the patient's expectations? In this issue, top experts review current controversies in radiology and the evidence used to support or contradict the clinical question asked. - Contains 14 relevant, practice-oriented topics including how do we assess controversies using evidence-based radiology?; artificial intelligence in radiology; stroke: controversies in imaging, intervention, and management; manufactured "controversies" have obscured the importance of breast cancer screening; nuclear medicine controversies; and more. - Provides in-depth clinical reviews on current evidence for selected topics in diagnostic and interventional radiology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. - Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.




Imaging of Parasitic Diseases


Book Description

With parasitic diseases increasing worldwide it’s vitally important that radiologists in particular stay up to date with developments. In this brilliantly useful volume, the authors cover the imaging findings for parasitic diseases that can affect the human body using modern imaging equipments. Every chapter consists of a short description of causative agent, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and imaging findings with illustrative examples of parasitic diseases.




Fundamentals of Body CT


Book Description

Covers the most recent advances in CT technique, including the use of multislice CT to diagnose chest, abdominal, and musculoskeletal abnormalities, as well as the expanded role of 3D CT and CT angiography in clinical practice. Highlights the information essential for interpreting CTs and the salient points needed to make diagnoses, and reviews how the anatomy of every body area appears on a CT scan. Offers step-by-step instructions on how to perform all current CT techniques. Provides a survey of major CT findings for a variety of common diseases, with an emphasis on those findings that help to differentiate one condition from another.

Pain Imaging


Book Description

This book addresses all pain imaging aspects related to both the central nervous system and the body (thorax, abdomen and pelvis), thus updating the international literature on the topic. By adopting a clinical-radiological approach and offering a comprehensive differential diagnosis for a number of painful syndromes (many of which can mimic one other), the work aims to support and enhance the diagnostic management of these patients, suggesting the most appropriate diagnostic algorithm. The book is divided into separate sections for each anatomical macro-area, and the chapters cover the respective topics from both clinical and radiological perspectives. Further, the book includes extensive electronic supplementary material. As such, it offers an invaluable tool for radiologists, neuroradiologists and clinicians working in internal medicine, surgery and neurology, and could also be used in residency programs for these groups.




Imaging of Soft Tissue Tumors


Book Description

Only with the advent of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have radiologists become familiar with this uncommon pathology. The emphasis here is on MRI, as it guarantees the most accurate diagnosis of soft tissue tumours. Because of their rarity, multi-centric studies are necessary to collect statistically relevant numbers of these tumours and so assess the value of new imaging techniques in their detection, staging, grading, tissue characterisation, and post-treatment follow-up. This is a reflection of the work of a prestigious European study group of more than 30 such co-investigators - including experts on medical imaging - who collected more than 800 documented and histologically proven cases of soft tissue tumours. For each tumour type, 10-12 cases are shown, supported by 3-4 photos. Unsurpassed in its collection of case studies.
