This excellently illustrated reference work provides a comprehensive overview of the imaging and management of abdominal trauma. Detailed attention is paid to pathophysiology, clinical symptoms and findings, all relevant imaging modalities and other tests employed to evaluate abdominal injuries at the time of admission of the trauma victim. Types of management described in depth include: surgical, conservative, interventional radiological, and endoscopic. Posttraumatic complications are discussed, including those arising from treatment. There are also general chapters on patient resuscitation, logistics, and medicolegal issues.

This book offers a comprehensive review on the last development in the management and the treatment of acute and life-threatening conditions. Written by leading experts in the field, this book will help the clinician to understand the clinical problems and to select the methodological and technical options that will ensure prompt and effective response and correct interpretation of the clinical findings. This book is richly illustrated and will serve as unique source of information for radiologists and other specialists including neuroradiologists, surgeons, cardiologists, angiologists and gastroenteologists.

This is one of the first books to deal specifically with imaging of the entire spectrum of hematological malignancies. The use of the latest imaging modalities is well described. In the first chapter of the book, magnetic resonance imaging of the bone marrow is discussed in detail. The following chapters describe exhaustively the imaging features of hematological malignancies, supported by thorough radiological and histological illustrations and tables. The third part documents the effects of therapy on each anatomical group of organs in patients treated in Hematology. The last part details the interventional procedures employed for diagnosis, evaluation of treatment and also therapeutic purposes. Each of the 28 chapters is written by an internationally recognized expert, making this book the most current and complete treatment of this subject available. It should be of great interest to radiologists and hematologists.

Gastrointestinal surgery is performed for a range of benign and malignant diseases in both elective and emergency settings. This volume covers the diseases, surgery, and management of the mesentery, omentum, peritoneum, and retroperitoneum, as well as abdominal trauma.

A number of imaging techniques, many of them complementary, are used in the investigation and treatment of disorders of the stomach and duodenum. Optimal patient treatment requires a thorough knowledge of the application of these techniques, as well as a sound understanding of pathology of the stomach and its presenting symptomatology. This well-illustrated book covers the various investigative methods in detail, discussing their advantages and disadvantages and explaining their role in specific settings. It will be of great value to both trainee and experienced radiologists, and should assist in promoting effective and judicious patient management.

Radiology has seen dramatic technological advances in recent years. This multi-author text describes the current approach to colonic imaging and provides a detailed insight into likely future developments. The role of radiology in cancer screening is fully considered. In this context, particular attention is devoted to CT and MR virtual colonography, which, it is anticipated, will largely replace barium enema radiology and reduce the use of diagnostic colonoscopy. Modern cancer staging techniques, including PET scanning, are reviewed, and post-treatment follow-up strategies are examined. The imaging of inflammatory and traumatic conditions of the colon is described, as are current colonic interventional options, such as tumour stenting, colon decompression and vascular embolisation. In short, this book provides a comprehensive, well-illustrated and up-to-date review of colonic imaging.

This is a comprehensive textbook on the imaging of pediatric skeletal trauma. It gives radiologists and pediatric surgeons a detailed description of the techniques used as well as examples of the imaging findings and details of their clinical relevance. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field and includes a wealth of illustrations. The book provides invaluable advice on those features which will affect the orthopedic management of a child.

For several decades, the diagnosis of diseases affecting the ureter was based on intravenous excretory urography and techniques of direct opacification. However, the diagnostic strategy has been extensively modified by the advent of helical computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This book, the first to focus specifically on ureteral imaging, covers both the new and the traditional techniques. Their use in the variety of scenarios involving ureteral disease is clearly elucidated with the aid of high-quality informative images.
