Produktbeschreibung

A hugely important book that details significant changes in imaging in oncological conditions related to the bladder, prostate and kidneys. The sole focus is on oncology in urology, mainly Ultrasound and MRI, with organ-oriented topics. The latest technologies on imaging are included to better identify carcinomatous lesions and lymph node metastases. Each chapter includes a section that outlines the optimal imaging approach, providing an algorithm for imaging per disease entity, and according to the evidence-based chronological and diagnostic follow-up.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The target audience is healthcare professionals ... including urologists, radiologists, oncologists, and specialized ancillary staff such as technologists and nurses. The book may be useful to community and academic physicians seeking an in-depth understanding of urologic imaging in oncology. ... This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art discussion of all imaging modalities relevant to specific urologic malignancies. ... it may be especially useful for clinicians who work in a multidisciplinary urologic oncology setting." (Vamsi Vasireddy, Doody's Review Service, April, 2009)

"This book provides an excellent review of the most common tumors in urologic oncology ... . The intended audience is radiologists, urologists, and their trainees, but other health care providers who can benefit include nuclear medicine physicians, urologic oncologists, radiation therapists, physician assistants, nurses, and the medical directors of third party-payers. This is a highly recommended book that should be in the reference libraries of these health care providers and in medical libraries ... . The images, diagrams, figures, and references are excellent." (Aurelio Matamoros Jr., Journal of Nuclear Medicine, July, 2010)
