Radiology Illustrated: Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Radiology is the first of two volumes that will serve as a clear, practical guide to the diagnostic imaging of abdominal diseases. This volume, devoted to diseases of the liver, biliary tree, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen, covers congenital disorders, vascular diseases, benign and malignant tumors, and infectious conditions. Liver transplantation, evaluation of the therapeutic response of hepatocellular carcinoma, trauma, and post-treatment complications are also addressed. The book presents approximately 560 cases with more than 2100 carefully selected and categorized illustrations, along with key text messages and tables, that will allow the reader easily to recall the relevant images as an aid to differential diagnosis. At the end of each text message, key points are summarized to facilitate rapid review and learning. In addition, brief descriptions of each clinical problem are provided, followed by both common and uncommon case studies that illustrate the role of different imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, radiography, CT, and MRI.

Featuring 137 carefully selected cases, this atlas covers virtually every aspect of clinical cross-sectional imaging of the liver, gallbladder, biliary system and pancreas. For the vast majority of the cases, both CT and MR images are included to demonstrate the different features of each lesion. Furthermore, both typical and atypical pathologies are included to facilitate the differential diagnosis in daily clinical practice. Concise yet comprehensive,this atlas includes not only imaging features of the lesions but also the related pathologic and clinical data. It is therefore useful both as a quick guide for practicing radiologists and as a brief textbook for radiologists in training.

Over the last decade, advanced imaging and interventional techniques have greatly improved the treatment of all forms of liver, biliary, and pancreatic disease. They have also transformed hepatobiliary and pancreatic radiology into an increasingly useful and sought-after specialty. Organized by anatomic region, this book is designed to help specialists develop a comprehensive approach to disorders of the liver, pancreas, and biliary tract. Special features include: Detailed instruction in all radiologic techniques, including ultrasound, computed tomography, MRI, angiography, nuclear medicine, ERC, and transhepatic cholangiography Full information on a wide range of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders, and the techniques used in their treatment. Complete coverage of interventional procedures Special chapters on the treatment of trauma, postoperative, and pediatric patients Practical and comprehensive, HEPATOBILIARY AND PANCREATIC RADIOLOGY is a must for both newcomers and experienced radiologists!
