Book description
This extensively illustrated guide is the first English-language text
to present a comprehensive analysis of the sonographic aspects of
abdominal transplantation. The book provides full coverage of the entire
process, from initial assessment to the peri-operative period and
long-term follow-up. It gives you essential information on color doppler
ultrasound and other imaging techniques which are crucial to the early
detection of complications. With each chapter written by a leading
expert in that particular subspecialty, the book begins with general
background information and techniques, then goes on to address imaging
procedures used in transplantation for the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and
small bowel. Ultrasound, as opposed to CT or MRI, is the primary imaging
modality utilized for both preliminary investigations and interventional
procedures. Ultrasound of Abdominal Transplantation is an invaluable
professional resource for all radiologists, sonographers, surgeons, and
physicians who need an insight into techniques of transplant ultrasound
as well as an overview of the related medical and surgical management
issues. ''Comprehensive and well-written. . .The authors have produced
an excellent analysis of the role of US in abdominal transplantation,
not only for the specialists in US imaging, but also for the general
radiologists who must deal with cases needing abdominal transplantation.
. .and the clinicians who care for these patients.'' --Journal of
Clinical Imaging_x000D_ "A wealth of information that will be of
significant interest to all physicians caring for solid organ transplant
patients. . . . Comprehensive yet concise. The quality of images is
uniformly outstanding, with a large number of color Doppler images that
