Variants and Pitfalls in Body Imaging, Second Edition is the key to identifying features on images that can impede accurate diagnosis, particularly normal anatomic variants and technical artifacts that mimic pathology. Covering the abdomen, pelvis, and thorax and all current imaging modalities, this sourcebook explains how to differentiate normal anatomic variants, technical artifacts, and other diagnostic pitfalls from pathologic conditions. Organized by site for easy reference, the book covers CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. This edition includes advanced technologies such as multidetector CT scanning for cardiovascular imaging, CT and MR enterography for enterocolitis, virtual colonoscopy, CT and MR urography, prostate and breast MR imaging, and PET/CT scanning. Well-respected radiologists walk the reader through specific body areas, describing problems, solutions, and relevant anatomy. A companion website will include the fully searchable text and images.

Written by internationally renowned experts, this is a collection of chapters dealing with imaging diagnosis and interventional therapies in abdominal and pelvic disease. The different topics are disease-oriented and encompass all the relevant imaging modalities including X-ray technology, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and magnetic resonance, as well as image-guided interventional techniques. This condensed overview of twenty relevant topics in abdominal and pelvic disease is written for residents in radiology and experienced radiologists.

Prepare for—and excel on—the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) and American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification exams! Steven M. Penny’s Examination Review for Ultrasound: Abdomen & Obstetrics and Gynecology, 3rd Edition, focuses only on the information that you’ll see on these exams, saving you valuable study time. Now in full color throughout, it uses a concise, narrative approach and features an online exam simulator with hundreds of registry-style questions.

It is a remarkable observation that human creativity can be fostered by spectacular scenery, itself usually the result of tectonic activity which raises mountains of beauty but carries the sting of earthquakes and eruptions. Think of Silicon Valley in Ca- fornia or of the Tokyo-Kyoto corridor in Eastern Japan. Another is the glorious Amalfi coast around Naples, where the authors of this new textbook work in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Is it the beauty that inspires or the tension of knowing that one’s life may be shattered at any moment if a volcanic or tectonic disaster strikes? Whatever the explanation, these authors’ passion for their subject shines through and their work carries not only their enthusiasm but also a rare beauty in its construction/format, for it is a joy to hold and behold with its beautiful all-colour printing and abundant illustrations of excellent quality, mainly, of course, ultrasound images but also corresponding CT scans and numerous elegant diagrams. But, is there a need for a textbook on ultrasound in oncology? Doesn’t everyone accept that CT or PET/CT (and sometimes MR) have nailed the problem of oncologic imaging? Well, while CT is undoubtedly the core imaging technique for the det- tion, staging, treatment planning and follow-up of tumours, there remain many app- cations for modern ultrasound, as readers of this textbook will be persuaded.

The second edition of this two volume set has been fully revised to provide the most recent advances in the field of urology. Divided into 20 sections, this comprehensive guide begins with an introduction to the basics of urology and presentation and investigation of associated diseases. The following sections provide extensive coverage of the various aspects of urology, including emergency urology, paediatric urology, female urology and urinary tract obstruction. Volume two discusses surgical aspects, including reconstructive urology, transplant, uro-oncology and reproductive urology. Each section includes the various approaches such as open, laparoscopic, endourologic, microsurgical, prosthetic, tissue and genetic engineering, and robotic surgeries. This new edition is well-illustrated with nearly 1000 images and tables. Key points Fully revised, new edition presenting latest advances in urology Covers diagnosis and treatment of many diseases and disorders Volume two provides extensive coverage of surgical aspects Previous edition published in 2003

This text presents a useful collection of MRI artifacts and normal anatomic variants that can be mistaken on MRI scans for pathology. The book is organized into four parts: Chest/cardiovascular, abdomen, pelvis and musculoskeletal. The focus is 1,300 images with consistent descriptions covering relevant MRI findings, pathologic entities that may be simulated by a particular artifact or variant and methods for distinguishing whether or not the appearance is in fact pathology.

Essential Musculoskeletal MRI is a clinically based manual written by experts in both musculoskeletal MRI and musculoskeletal medicine. It explains when and why patients should be referred for this type of imaging and is an essential purchase for any student or clinician wishing to hone their MRI reading skills and to interpret their findings in conjunction with patient symptoms. The book assumes no previous knowledge of diagnostic imaging and covers the appearance of normal anatomy under MRI, as well as the radiological features of the most commonly encountered regional pathologies, with emphasis on those with musculoskeletal relevance. The content is regionally organised, rather than driven by pathology, and the focus is clearly on clinical application. Worked clinical examples develop diagnostic thinking and the numerous images help clinicians to recognise patterns.
