Neste livro os autores compartilham saberes a partir de algumas das lições que foram tristemente aprendidas com o desastre ocorrido na Boate Kiss, em 27 de janeiro de 2013, na cidade de Santa Maria/RS. Compreende-se que o fazer em saúde é dinâmico e que, a cada pequena e singela conquista, aprende-se a celebrar a vida e a continuar lutando com o propósito de que desastres como esse não se repitam.

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.
