Libri di Nancy M. Major

Volume grande formato (22 x 28) di 408 pagine, 620 immagini, numerose tabelle, stampato su carta speciale e rilegato con copertina in brossura stampata a colori e plastificata.Anche se in questo libro ci concentriamo sulle “nozioni fondamentali” (cosa che è sempre stata il nostro obiettivo), i princìpi di base continuano a cambiare e ad evolversi, insieme ai progressi nelle tecniche di tomografia computerizzata (TC), al miglioramento della nostra comprensione delle malattie e ai cambiamenti nella pratica medica e nella valutazione delle patologie. Questa nuova edizione ci offre l’opportunità di aggiornare temi importanti e di aggiungere nuovo materiale, comprese numerose immagini moderne di alta qualità.La Parte I, sul torace, comprende aggiornamenti sulla classificazione dell’adenocarcinoma, sullo screening TC del cancro polmonare (usando il sistema di refertazione e dati noto come Lung-RADS [lung reporting and data system]), sulla stadiazione del tumore polmonare e sulla classificazione e diagnosi delle pneumointerstiziopatie con l’utilizzo della TC ad alta risoluzione.Le aggiunte alla Parte 2, sull’addome, includono una revisione del sistema di refertazione e dati relativi all’imaging del fegato, noto come Li-RADS (liver imaging reporting and data system), per il carcinoma epatocellulare, e revisioni della classificazione di Atlanta della pancreatite acuta, la classificazione rivista e corretta delle neoplasie cistiche del pancreas, e una migliore descrizione dei reperti TC dei sottotipi istologici del carcinoma a cellule renali.Nella Parte 3, sul sistema muscolo-scheletrico, è stato posto un accento sulla diagnosi di anomalie, spesso incidentali, rilevate su scansioni TC del torace e dell’addome ottenute per indicazioni non muscolo-scheletriche. La quasi mezza dozzina di anni trascorsi da quando è stata pubblicata la terza edizione ha assistito a continui progressi nelle tecniche di TC spirale, o elicoidale. In questa edizione rivedremo i vari protocolli di indagine TC spirale correntemente utilizzati nella pratica clinica per la diagnosi delle anomalie toraciche, addominali e muscolo-scheletriche, comprese discussioni sulla TC ad alta risoluzione, sulla valutazione dei noduli polmonari e sullo screening del cancro del polmone, sulla diagnosi TC di embolia polmonare, sull’entero-TC, sull’enteroclisi (o enteroclisma) TC, sulla colonscopia virtuale TC e sull’ottimizzazione delle tecniche TC nella diagnosi delle anomalie muscolo-scheletriche. A tutti i capitoli sono stati aggiunti nuovi argomenti, discussioni su altre malattie (troppo numerose per citarle qui) e nuove immagini, comprese descrizioni e illustrazioni aggiornate dell’anatomia normale e dei reperti incidentali. Le classificazioni delle malattie, incluse quelle per l’adenocarcinoma polmonare, per le malattie polmonari diffuse e per le lesioni pancreatiche, sono state aggiornate laddove appropriato. Ci auguriamo che possiate trarre piacere e profitto dai nostri sforzi.
