Produktbeschreibung

This superbly illustrated book describes a comprehensive and modern approach to the imaging of abdominal and pelvic emergencies of traumatic and non-traumatic origin. The aim is to equip the reader with a full understanding of the roles of advanced cross-sectional imaging modalities, including dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To this end, recent literature on the subject is reviewed, and current controversies in acute abdominal and pelvic imaging are discussed. Potential imaging and related pitfalls are highlighted and up-to-date information provided on differential diagnosis. The first two chapters explain an evidence-based approach to the evaluation of patients and present dose reduction strategies for multidetector CT imaging (MDCT). The remaining chapters describe specific applications of MDCT, DECT, and MRI for the imaging of both common and less common acute abdominal and pelvic conditions, including disorders in the pediatric population and pregnant patients. The book will be of value to emergency and abdominal radiologists, general radiologists, emergency department physicians and related personnel, general and trauma surgeons, and trainees in all these specialties.

Rezensionen

"This book could be purchased either by an individual radiologist for their personal library or by a radiology department for general reference, particularly if it was kept in the acute reporting room." (Mark Wills, RAD Magazine, July, 2019)
"The book reviews MR and Dual energy CT of disorders causing an acute abdomen. ... The authors center their discussion on new advances in the imaging of the acute abdomen using MR and dual source CT technology. The book is organized using an organ system approach. ... this is a well-written book that highlights cross-sectional imaging of the acute abdomen. It is a worthwhile read for imaging knowledge." (Tara M. Catanzano, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2018)
