Book description
Teaching Atlas of Abdominal Imaging
is a case-based reference covering the full spectrum of common and
uncommon problems of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract
encountered in everyday practice. The book organizes cases into sections
based on the anatomic location of the problem. Each chapter provides
succinct descriptions of clinical presentation, radiologic findings,
diagnosis, and differential diagnosis for the case. The chapter then
discusses the background for each diagnosis, clinical findings, common
complications, etiology, imaging findings, treatment, and prognosis.
Key features:
Succinct text and consistent presentation in each chapter enhance
the ease of use
Practical discussion of all current imaging modalities
Nearly 550 high-quality images demonstrate key concepts
Bulleted lists of pearls and pitfalls at the end of each chapter
highlight important points
An appendix with 64-slice protocols for various CT scans, such as
dual-phase liver and pancreatic scans
Ideal for both self-assessment and rapid review, this book is a valuable
resource for radiologists, gastrointestinal and genitourinary
radiologists, and fellows and residents in these specialties.
