Peter Hertel
e altri
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 299
This MRI atlas of the knee joint is the fruit of interdisciplinary cooperation among radiologists, orthopedists and traumatologists. All important diseases and injuries of the knee are covered. Every part of the joint is comprehensively depicted in a series of MR images ranging all the way from the normal status to frank disease. Clinical evaluation of the findings is followed in each case by detailed information on diagnostic pitfalls, staging of disease and consequences for treatment. This special format helps to differentiate clearly between normal and abnormal imaging findings and facilitates construction of engrams for the major joint structures.

Laparoscopy in Children
Felix Schier
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 156
Many children are operated on by surgeons who are not pediatric specialists. And many of these surgeons are familiar with minimally invasive techniques, yet hesitate to conduct laparoscopy in young patients. This book provides the knowledge they require and gives technical advice concerning the performance of the most frequent laparoscopic procedures in small children. The text provides a step-by-step approach and technical guide with little text and many instructive drawings. Diagnostic criteria are also discussed.

Staging Laparoscopy
K. C. P. Conlon , P. Hohenberger
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 198
Laparoscopy in combination with laparoscopic ultrasonography is a new staging procedure for tumors of the abdomen. The treatment of several other tumor entities, such as pancreatic and gastric cancer, lymphoma, ovarian cancer, liver malignancies, is also improved by more accurate staging. Laparoscopic staging helps prevent unnecessary laparotomies, provides much less trauma to the patient, maximum information on tumor spread, and enables palliative procedures to be performed during the staging procedure. This book provides detailed guidelines on the aim and technique of laparoscopic staging and discusses the pathophysiological aspects and risks of laparoscopic staging (such as trocar metastases) on the basis of international experience.

Antonios Drevelegas
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 312
This volume provides a deeper understanding of the diagnosis of brain tumors by correlating radiographic image features to the underlying pathology. Theoretical considerations and illustrations depicting common and uncommon imaging characteristics of various brain tumors are presented. All modern imaging modalities are used to complete a diagnostic overview of brain tumors with emphasis on recent advances in diagnostic neuroradiology. The book has been designed as a clinical tool for radiologists and other clinicians interested in the current diagnostic approach to brain tumors.

Multislice CT in Cardiac Imaging
Technical Principles, Clincal Application and Future Developments

,
Christoph R. Becker
e altri
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 126
Cardiac diseases and in particular coronary artery disease are the leading cause of death and morbidity in the industrialized countries. The development of reliable cardiac imaging techniques is considered a key issue in improving patient care. The introduction of multi-slice computed tomography in 1998 represented a breakthrough of CT technology in cardiac imaging. For the first time, widely available CT systems can be used for non-invasive, angiographic assessment of the heart and the coronary arteries. This book presents and discusses the technical concepts, the potential spectrum of applications and the future perspectives of multi-slice CT in cardiac imaging based on the experience of internationally leading clinical institutions. It shows that this new modality has the potential to become an important and robust tool for non-invasive and early diagnosis of cardiac diseases, thus complementing invasive and non-invasive imaging modalities in clinical routine in the near future.

Examinations of the abdomen, neck, brain, blood vessels, chest and musculoskeletal system are individually described and illustrated, due attention being paid to the special scanner settings necessary in each case. There are also sections on cardiac applications of multislice CT and interventional CT. In each chapter, the authors present recent research in the field and discuss its impact on clinical imaging and patient handling. This comprehensive book is aimed at radiologists at all levels.

Imaging of Orbital and Visual Pathway Pathology
Wibke S. Muller-Forell
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 462
This is one of the first books to deal with imaging of pathology of the entire visual system. It is divided into two parts, general and special. In the general part, the most important basics of modern imaging methods are discussed, but with less emphasis on the physical background than in purely neuro-/radiological textbooks. Chapters are devoted to the meticulous presentation of imaging anatomy of the orbit and intracranial visual pathway. The latest knowledge on the indication, technique, and results of functional MR imaging is presented. Visual system impairment in the pediatric age group is also discussed. The special part of the book provides detailed descriptions of the symptoms and clinical and imaging findings in individual patients with orbital and intracranial pathologies. This book is specifically designed to be of value not only to neuroradiologists but also to ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons, oto-/rhino-laryngologists, and neurologists who require more detailed information on these special diseases.
Imaging of the Larynx
Robert Hermans
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 203
Notwithstanding the important role of direct clinical and endoscopic examination in modern management of pathological conditions of the larynx, radiological study the and, more specifically, cross-sectional imaging by CT and MRI make definite diagnostic contributions by virtue of their potential to display superbly the deeper extent of laryngeal lesions. Indeed, remarkable progress has been achieved during recent years in CT and MRI techniques as applied to the neck region. This book sets out to provide a sorely needed update of our knowledge of the diagnostic potential of these cross-sectional methods and constitutes a very welcome addition to our series "Medical Radiology", which aims to cover all important clinical imaging fields of modern diagnostic radiology. It will be of great interest to general and head and neck radiologists as well as to ENT surgeons and radiotherapists. Professor R. Hermans and the other distinguished contributors to this work are internationally renowned experts in the field and they have accumulated vast experi- ence and a wealth of radio-pathological knowledge of the larynx over the years.
I would like to congratulate them most sincerely for this outstanding volume, its comprehensive contents and its superb illustrations. I hope that this book will meet with the same great success as previously published volumes in the series. I would appreciate any constructive criticism that might be offered.
Histological Typing of Prostate Tumours

editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 126
This classification is based primarily on the microscopic characteris- tics of tumours and therefore is concerned with morphologically identifiable cell types and histological patterns as seen with conven- tional light microscopy. The term tumour is used synonymously with neoplasm. The phrase tumour-like is applied to lesions that clinically or morpholog- ically resemble neoplasms but do not behave biologically in a neo- plastic manner. They are included in this publication because they give rise to problems in differential diagnosis and because of the un- clear distinction between neoplasms and certain non-neoplastic le- sions. Synonyms are listed only if they have been widely used or are considered helpful for the understanding of the lesion. In such cases, the preferred term is given first and followed by the synonym. The current revision includes the recognition of a preinvasive le- sion, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, which is commonly associat- ed with carcinoma. It also recognises the paracrine-endocrine ele- ments in prostate carcinoma and other subtypes of adenocarcinoma.
Although the emphasis of the classification is on histological typ- ing, consideration should also be given to the degree of differentia- tion and nuclear anaplasia, extent of local spread, vascular and lym- phatic invasion, and the occurrence of metastasis. The revision in- cludes grading (p. 14), staging (p. 32), and handling and reporting of the different types of specimens (p. 1).
