Although already in its third decade, computed tomography (CT) remains a highly dynamic field. The rapid development of multidetector CT (MDCT) technology has challenged the radiological world, even more so with the increasing use of MDCT angiography and cardiac CT. State-of-the-art MDCT techniques have been further enhanced by innovative post-processing imaging software. The book MDCT Body Anatomy is designed to assist medical residents, imaging technicians, and clinicians. Its nearly 500 axial and multiplanar illustrations comprise a comprehensive MDCT anatomic atlas of the body able to provide prompt answers to imaging anatomy questions. The MDCT anatomy of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis is presented in three different parts, with every image containing an informative legend describing the anatomic section performed.
This superbly illustrated book describes a comprehensive and modern approach to the imaging of abdominal and pelvic emergencies of traumatic and non-traumatic origin. The aim is to equip the reader with a full understanding of the roles of advanced cross-sectional imaging modalities, including dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To this end, recent literature on the subject is reviewed, and current controversies in acute abdominal and pelvic imaging are discussed. Potential imaging and related pitfalls are highlighted and up-to-date information provided on differential diagnosis. The first two chapters explain an evidence-based approach to the evaluat...
This book provides comprehensive information on Diagnostic Imaging for polytrauma patients. It provides extensive and detailed explanations of the semiotics of traumatic injuries, the correlation with the trauma’s mechanism of action, and the meaning and appearance of prognostic indicators. The book begins with a discussion of the management of polytrauma patients. Particular attention is given to the role of radiology in management, and each chapter includes an assessment of the radiological findings to be used as a clinical decision-making tool. Several typical cases are shown, supplemented by a wealth of images. The book offers a useful tool both for radiologists, who will find in it a valuable guide to correctly diagnosing traumatic injuries, and for clinicians, who will come to better understand the findings of the diagnostic tests performed on their patients
La TC spirale Multidetettore (TCMD) rappresenta oggi una delle più diffuse metodiche diagnostiche in campo radiologico. Le apparecchiature con 64 file di detettori consentono di ottenere studi di ampi volumi corporei in pochi secondi che, in associazione all’ elaborazione di immagini multiplanari, forniscono una valutazione anatomica topografica di facile approccio. Il presente volume descrive l’anatomia TCMD sul piano assiale, coronale e sagittale dei vari organi, strutture e compartimenti del torace, dell’addome e della pelvi attraverso molteplici illustrazioni. Le indicazioni a lato delle figure e la didascalia a fondo pagina rendono particolarmente facile la consultazione, costituendo una preziosa guida per l’elaborazione dei differenti protocolli di studio con TCMD del settore body.
This book provides an overview on the critical role of diagnostic imaging in the assessment of patients with suspected alimentary tract perforation, an emergent condition that requires prompt surgery. With the aid of numerous high-quality images, it is described how different imaging modalities, including plain film X-ray, ultrasonography and multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT), permit correct diagnosis of the presence and cause of the perforation and of associated pathologies. Particular attention is paid to MDCT, with full description of its role in a range of scenarios at various levels of the alimentary tract. Imaging of GI tract perforation in different patient groups, such as pediatric patients, the elderly and oncologic patients, is also addressed. This volume will greatly assist residents in radiology, radiologists and physicians who are daily involved in the management of patients with clinically suspected alimentary tract perforation.
L’urgenza vascolare è la vera urgenza. Data la variabilità delle presentazioni cliniche, il radiologo è sempre più spesso chiamato in causa per problemi diagnosticodifferenziali e a lui sono demandati l’inquadramento nosologico e le scelte terapeutiche dei casi dubbi. Se il tempo è l’unica variabile determinante, la diagnosi deve essere tempestiva ed accurata perché si possano attuare le scelte terapeutiche idonee. Pertanto è necessario che il radiologo sappia agire con sollecitudine e “precisione chirurgica”. Lo scopo del volume è fornire, attraverso la presentazione di un’ampia casistica, un mezzo facile, veloce e stimolante, attraverso cui il lettore possa confrontarsi.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with...
