Book description
Differential Diagnosis in Computed Tomography, 2nd edition
, is an invaluable reference aid in the evaluation of CT images to help
confidently gain a general diagnostic impression and a reasonable
differential diagnosis. In contrast to disease-oriented radiology texts,
this book is organized by CT findings, enabling the reader to quickly
match the appropriate differential diagnosis to CT results.
Special features of the second edition:
Continuation of the successful Burgener concept: Comprehensive
tables describe the imaging patterns of the various diseases that may
present on CT, along with other characteristically associated imaging
findings and pertinent physiopathologic, pathologic, and clinical data
Over 2,000 detailed, high-quality images demonstrating a wide range
of common and uncommon CT findings
Chapters organized according to anatomic regions, from the brain to
the pelvis and the musculoskeletal system, with new chapters on
meningeal and calvarian lesions and on trauma
Updated and revised sections reflecting the latest advances in CT
technology and indications, including accurate staging of
intra-articular and spinal fractures and evaluation of vascular diseases
Extensive index systematically cross-references diseases and CT
findings for optimal access to information
Recognizing the central role that CT plays in the field of modern
medical imaging, this book is essential for physicians who want to
strengthen their diagnostic acumen and CT interpretation skills:
radiologists in practice; residents preparing for board exams; and any
other physician charged with understanding and interpreting CT images.
