Authored by three of the leading world experts in phlebology, Venous Ultrasound is an essential text for anyone involved in the treatment of chronic venous disease. It provides specific information on ultrasound as it is applied to chronic insufficiency, including history, general techniques, examples of anatomy, and protocols for performing ultrasound on patients. Focusing on the fundamentals that every phlebologist needs to know, the book includes color illustrations and numerous line drawings for a complete learning experience. Key features: * Covers anatomy related to venous insufficiency * Includes useful diagrams and images to aid understanding * Thoroughly up to date, with all the latest information for those practicing venous therapies Venous Ultrasound will be invaluable for anyone interested in phlebology, especially general and vascular surgeons, physicians, radiologists, angiologists, sonographers, and nurses who work in this area.

The optimal use of magnetic resonance imaging poses a constant challenge as the technology is continually and rapidly advancing. This leaves the MR practitioner, beginner or experienced, in constant need of up-to-date, easily read and well illustrated material presenting the clinical constellation of pathologies as seen by an MRI scanner in such an effective way. MRI of the Whole Body sets out to educate trainee and experienced radiologists, radiographers and clinicians regarding key sequences for optimal imaging of common pathologies, with simple explanations on the choice of a particular MR sequence. The authors present typical and representative examples with relevant clinical and imaging features to assist a better understanding of these commonly encountered conditions. Every unit begins with a quick anatomy review, and each case is described in a standardised format with a clinical background, key sequences, imaging features, and practical hints as to close differentials and ways to distinguish between them. A text of this nature is essential for all MR practitioners whatever their background: medical, technical or scientific. Key features: * First of its kind as no other book covers all body systems in one volume with demonstration of all key imaging sequences in the commonly diagnosed pathologies * Up-to-date sequences described with reasons for choosing a particular sequence for a particular case * Simplified relevant MR anatomy preceding each unit * Clear high resolution images with appropriate legends * Practical hints and tips section included for each pathology - close differentials and what to do next Written in a simple, lucid format and accompanied by typical illustrations to each case MRI of the Whole Body is an essential guide to understanding the 'what's, 'why's and 'how's of applied MR. It will be of particular value to trainee and practicing radiologists, as well as MR radiographers and radiography students.

Acute CT is an exciting and challenging area of radiology which has largely replaced the more traditional forms of imaging in terms of emergency practice. Acute CT: A Primer of Emergency Imaging is a precise, up to date volume of a size and format that aims to provide a concise source of reference for all clinical groups involved in acute or trauma CT. It will serve as an ideal bench book or pocket companion for junior radiologists involved with on-call practice, while also being of value to trainee and practicing radiographers and those studying for Royal College and Board exams. Scanning protocols and the use of contrast agents in the emergency and trauma setting are discussed, and the common emergency conditions and their differential diagnoses are presented in an easily read and understand format, covering the following: - A suggested imaging protocol for the clinical problem or body part under investigation - An outline of the imagining features expected for that condition and the differential diagnosis to consider - Images that illustrate the classical presentation along with examples of less common findings and potential pitfalls with interpretation - Advice on formulating an acute report that emphasizes the key points required to determine patient management.

There is no need to be wary of medical statistics with this book at your side. It is important that clinicians have a basic understanding of statistics if they are to fully understand the peer reviewed literature emerging from the field of evidence-based medicine. This book clearly explains commonly-used statistical techniques to aid understanding of published literature, describing the key concepts without bombarding the reader with mathematical formulae.
