Book Description

Dr. Rifkin's definitive volume on ultrasound of the prostate has now been expanded into a complete guide to diagnosis and treatment of prostate disease using all current imaging modalities--ultrasound (now including color Doppler), computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide studies, and other modalities. The Second Edition thoroughly examines the disease processes that are diagnosable by imaging studies, explains the diagnostic capabilities and limitations of each imaging modality, and offers expert guidance in selecting, performing, and interpreting imaging studies. Complementing the text are 1,097 illustrations--including 69 in full color--that demonstrate the various imaging procedures and depict both normal and pathologic findings. The book includes detailed discussions of the clinical indications for imaging and suggested patient workups.
