A comprehensive description of the most common abdominal operations involving the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, liver and genitourinary systems, illustrated with artists' drawings and images of normal post operative anatomy. The complications associated with each procedure will be in table format consisting of text alongside imaging examples. There will also be teaching points included. The book will be divided into nine chapters.
A new, comprehensive review of the radiographic examination of the post-operative GI tract. Organized on an organ-by-organ basis, emphasis is placed on conventional studies, supplemented by cross-sectional imaging. Operative techniques and normal post-operative anatomy are depicted with many schematic line drawings. Normal changes, as well as early and late complications are discussed and abundantly illustrated. A must-have reference for general radiologists, specialists in gastrointestinal surgery and radiology medical libraries.

This 3rd Edition describes and illustrates double contrast techniques for the diagnosis of diseases affecting the upper gastrointestinal tract, small bowel and colon. Co-edited by three of the world's leading gastrointestinal radiologists with an outstanding group of contributors, this reference explains the principles of examination. It describes how to perform the techniques in each area of the GI tract and guides the reader in interpreting the resulting radiographs. Devotes entire chapters to specific areas of the GI tract (pharynx, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small bowel, and colon) and the technical aspects of studies specific to those areas, including pharyngography, esophagography, upper GI examinations, small bowel enemas (enteroclysis), and barium enemas. Includes important sections on the double contrast barium enema and the diagnosis of colorectal neoplasms and cancers that reflect growing national interest in colon cancer screening techniques. Features detailed, clearly labeled images that illustrate both normal anatomy and the abnormalities discussed in the text. Includes new sections on HIV esophagitis; Helicobacter pylori gastritis and the relationship of H. pylori to peptic ulcer disease; and gastric MALT lymphoma, an early, curable form of gastric lymphoma. Details the advantages of using digital fluoroscopic imaging to perform and interpret double contrast studies.

Full-color presentation enhances your learning experience with vibrantly detailed images. Pathology tables give you quick access to clinical findings, laboratory findings, sonography findings, and differential considerations. Sonographic Findings highlight key clinical information. Key terms and chapter objectives help you study more efficiently. Review questions on a companion Evolve website reinforce your understanding of essential concepts. New chapters detail the latest clinically relevant content in the areas of: Essentials of Patient Care for the Sonographer; Artifacts in Image Acquisition; Understanding Other Imaging Modalities; Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Issues in Sonography; 3D and 4D Evaluation of Fetal Anomalies; More than 700 new images (350 in color) clarify complex anatomic concepts. Extensive content updates reflect important changes in urinary, liver, musculoskeletal, breast, cerebrovascular, gynecological, and obstetric sonography.
Radiology Illustrated: Gastrointestinal Tract is the second of two volumes designed to provide clear and practical guidance on the diagnostic imaging of abdominal diseases. The book presents approximately 300 cases with 1500 carefully selected and categorized illustrations of gastrointestinal tract diseases, along with key text messages and tables that will help the reader easily to recall the relevant images as an aid to differential diagnosis. Essential points are summarized at the end of each text message to facilitate rapid review and learning. Additionally, brief descriptions of each clinical problem are provided, followed by case studies of both common and uncommon pathologies that illustrate the roles of the different imaging modalities, including ultrasound, radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
Textbook of Gastrointestinal Radiology remains your indispensable source for definitive, state-of-the-art guidance on all the latest and emerging GI and abdominal imaging technologies. Drs. Richard M. Gore and Marc S. Levine lead a team of world-renowned experts to provide unparalleled comprehensive coverage of all major abdominal disorders as well as the complete scope of abdominal imaging modalities, including the latest in MDCT, MRI, diffusion weighted and perfusion imaging, ultrasound, PET/CT, PET/MR, plain radiographs, MRCP, angiography, and barium studies. In print, online, or on mobile devices, this edition is the perfect "go-to" reference for today's radiologist. Characterize abdominal masses and adenopathy with the aid of diffusion-weighted MR imaging. See how gastrointestinal conditions present with more than 2,500 multi-modality, high-quality digital images that mirror the findings you're likely to encounter in practice. Make optimal use of the latest abdominal and gastrointestinal imaging techniques with new chapters on diffusion weighted MRI, perfusion MDCT and MRI, CT colonography, CT enterography and MR enterography-sophisticated cross-sectional imaging techniques that have dramatically improved the utility of CT and MR for detecting a host of pathologic conditions in the gastrointestinal tract. Expert guidance is right at your fingertips. Now optimized for use on mobile devices, this edition is perfect as an on-the-go resource for all abdominal imaging needs. Effectively apply MR and CT perfusion, diffusion weighted imaging, PET/CT and PET/MR in evaluating tumor response to therapy.
"MDCT: From Protocols to Practice" tackles contemporary and topical issues in MDCT technology and applications. As an updated edition of MDCT: A Practical Approach, this volume offers new content as well as revised chapters from the previous volume. New chapters discuss important topics such as imaging of children and obese subjects, the use of contrast medium in pregnant women, coronary MDCT angiography, and PET/CT in abdominal and pelvic malignancies. Furthermore an Appendix with over 50 updated MDCT scanning protocols completes this publication. The book emphasizes the practical aspects of MDCT, making it an invaluable source of information for radiologists, residents, medical physicists, and radiology technologists in everyday clinical practice.
This book conjoins the latest advances on the use of endoscopy to diagnose, monitor, and treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Chapters include the historical use of rigid sigmoidoscopy, non-interventional imaging procedures, and the correlation of pathology and endoscopic visualization. This is the first book to include individual chapters in gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, and IBD texts, the preeminent role of endoscopic imaging in the management of chronic ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. It also includes chapters on capsule endoscopy and balloon and overtube-assisted enteroscopy to define the presence and activity of Crohn's enteritis and additional chapters defining the use of random biopsies versus chromoendoscopy, and computer enhanced imaging to define possible dysplasia development. The book also includes access to online videos, making it the ultimate verbal and visual tool for all medical professionals interested in the advances in the field over the last several decades. Endoscopy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a concise text that is of great value to practicing endoscopists, gastroenterologists, general or colorectal surgeons, physicians in training, and all medical professionals caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
