Bücher der Reihe Diagnostic Imaging

This superbly illustrated book examines all aspects of the use of modern post-mortem imaging in forensic investigations, which has flourished since the introduction of multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Readers will find guidance on the applications of all relevant imaging modalities and contrast media. Analogies and differences between forensic and clinical imaging are highlighted, and it is explained what lessons forensic imaging holds for clinical radiology, and vice versa. The remainder of the book comprehensively documents the typical "e;normal"e; post-mortem findings and the imaging presentations in various forms of trauma and nontraumatic forensic cases, including those in which medical liability may be an issue. The authors are radiologists and forensic radiologists from across the world who have extensive experience in post-mortem imaging. The book is primarily intended for forensic pathologists, radiologists, and radiographers seeking practical information on forensic imaging, but it will also be of interest to others, such as lawyers, who encounter this specialty during their professional activities. 

This superbly illustrated book provides a thorough, up-to-date overview of diagnostic breast imaging and therapy. Drs. Elizabeth Morris, Michael Fuchsjager, and Thomas Helbich, three experts in the field, have collaborated with colleagues from their institutions and selected medical centers to share their expertise. The coverage ranges from basic information on imaging technologies and interventional equipment and how to use them optimally to the application of advanced high-end techniques for screening and assessment in any given professional environment. Readers will find clear instruction on the various breast interventional procedures guided by stereotaxis, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging in wide clinical use. The management of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ and high-risk breast cancer is considered separately. Furthermore, the role of minimally invasive therapy is examined, and advice is provided on post-therapy evaluation, including breast implants. A comprehensive diagnostic atlas with hundreds of images completes this volume and addresses the spectrum of various clinical situations.

This book provides an up-to-date, systematic review of all facets of emergency radiology in patients with head and spine injuries. The aim is to equip readers with a detailed knowledge of the various radiological patterns that may be encountered, thereby facilitating prompt diagnosis under circumstances in which time is of crucial importance. The indications, value, and results of the various emergency imaging modalities, including interventional radiology, are described and illustrated in the full range of traumatic and nontraumatic head and spine emergencies. In addition, basic management principles and technological aspects are fully explained, and protocols tailored to the mechanism of injury are presented. Emergency Radiology of the Head and Spine will be of value to neuroradiologists, interventional neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, emergency radiologists, emergency physicians, radiology residents, radiology technicians, and all physicians and surgeons who work in emergency care.

This book is an entirely revised second edition of "Imaging of the Knee", published in 2003, and provides an up-to-date comprehensive review of imaging and pathologies of the knee. In the first part of the book, the various techniques employed when imaging the knee are discussed in detail. Individual chapters are devoted to radiography, arthrography, computed tomography and CT arthrography, magnetic resonance imaging and MR arthrography, and ultrasonography. The second part then documents the application of these techniques to the diverse clinical problems and diseases encountered in the knee. Among the many topics addressed are congenital and developmental abnormalities, trauma, meniscal pathology, the cruciate and collateral ligaments, the postoperative knee, infection, arthritis, osteochondritis, osteonecrosis and tumors. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field, and a wealth of illustrative material is included. This book will be of great value to radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons.

This vastly illustrated book offers a comprehensive survey of the role of imaging in the diagnosis of synovial tumors and tumor-like conditions. It gives an overview of the anatomy and histology of the synovium and discusses the classification, pathology, genetics and molecular biology of synovial tumors. The book presents the benefits of various imaging modalities in the diagnosis of these masses, which is important to provide appropriate treatment.Imaging of Synovial Tumors and Tumor-like Conditions will be a valuable resource not only for radiologists but also for orthopedic surgeons, oncologists, radiotherapists, and pathologists.

Covering the entire spectrum of this fast-changing field, the fourth edition of Diagnostic Imaging: Pediatric Neuroradiology is an invaluable resource for general radiologists, pediatric neuroradiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons, and trainees-anyone who requires an easily accessible, highly visual reference in this complex area of imaging. Drs. Kevin R. Moore, Luke L. Linscott, and a team of highly regarded experts provide up-to-date information on nearly 280 diagnoses in short, detailed chapters to help you make informed decisions at the point of care. The text is lavishly illustrated, delineated, and referenced, making it a useful learning tool for readers at all levels of experience as well as a handy reference for daily practice.Provides a comprehensive, expert reference for quickly accessible, detailed information about neoplastic and nonneoplastic disorders affecting the brain, head, neck, and spine of children to help you make specific diagnoses and recommendations for further imaging or referralContains numerous new chapters and sweeping updates throughout, covering advances in vessel wall imaging that provide more specific diagnoses of focal cerebral arteriopathy in children; newly identified pediatric infectious diseases, including human parechovirus; congenital brain malformations; MOGAD and NMOSD correlating to newly developed consensus standards; an up-to-date approach to pediatric demyelinating disorders; and moreIncludes current tumor criteria from the WHO Classification of Tumours: Central Nervous System Tumours (fifth edition), including advancements in molecular genomics and newly determined categories that identify tumor types/subtypes and facilitate differentiating subtypesFeatures more than 5,500 images (in print and online), including radiologic images, full-color medical illustrations, clinical and gross pathology photographs, and histologic imagesClearly demonstrates procedural steps, complications, treatment alternatives, variant anatomy, and more-all fully annotated to highlight the most important diagnostic informationOffers a vivid, full-color design that makes the material easy to read, with an extensive image gallery and "thumbnail" visual differential diagnoses for each entityUses bulleted, succinct text and highly templated chapters for quick comprehension of essential information at the point of careIncludes an eBook version that enables you to access all text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
