Taking anatomy and pathology as its starting points, this book presenst radiographic diagnosis of the breast as plainly and clearly as possible, the accent lying rather on instruction than on the comprehensiveness of a reference work. Taking histopathology as its starting point, this book explains the mammographic signs in order to strengthen the statement made by the mammography, particularly in the diagnosis of carcinoma, which is the central concern of this book. Further-reaching techniques such as transcutaneous puncture methods, ultrasound and MRI are incorporated into the examination sequence. A separate chapter is devoted to mammographic screening for breast cancer; for even today only quality-assured mammographic screening can reduce fatalities due to breast cancer.

This groundbreaking textbook provides the first comprehensive overview of the utility of ultrasonography in surgical practice. Designed for easy reference as well as complete coverage, Ultrasound in Surgical Practice: Basic Principles and Clinical Applications includes a detailed introduction to the basic principles of ultrasonography as well as extensively illustrated guidelines for "reading" ultrasound images. The book's scope embraces equipment, technique, and interpretation and its highly visual, didactic approach provides the reader with numerous examples of normal and abnormal sonographic findings. Featuring contributions from leading experts, Ultrasound in Surgical Practice: Basic Principles and Clinical Applications includes individual chapters on such topics as: Breast Ultrasound Abdominal Ultrasound Trauma Ultrasound Intraoperative and Laparoscopic Ultrasound Endoscopic Ultrasound of the Stomach and Pancreas Endoluminal Ultrasound of the Rectum and Esophagus Ultrasound in Endocrine Diseases Gynecologic Ultrasound for Surgeons Ultrasound in Surgical Practice: Basic Principles and Clinical Applications is an indispensable reference for all surgeons and surgical residents. Related Title Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery: Imaging Strategies and Surgical Decision-Making Stephen R. T. Evans, M.D. and Susan M. Ascher, M.D. Provides detailed protocols for the effective pre- and intraoperative use of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging as well as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, angiography, and nuclear medicine.

Part of the popular "Case Review Series", "Obstetric and Gynecologic Ultrasound: Case Review" focuses on obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound, complete with full discussion and images. Designed as a study guide for Radiology and OB/GYN residents preparing for board exams and clinical practice, it presents 125 unknown cases with more than 295 images with questions, answers, commentary, references and cross references to "Ultrasound: The Requisites" by Kurtz & Middleton. Case discussion incorporates the most recent OB/GYN ultrasound literature from "Radiology", "AJR", "American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology", and "Journal of Ultrasound Medicine", providing an excellent review for practitioners.

A spin off from Ultrasound - a Practical Approach to Clinical Problems , this text focuses on clinical problems to help guide clinicians in choosing the most appropriate imaging examination.

The introduction of endosonographically guided fine-needle biopsy has led to increasing use of longitudinal scans in the endosonographic diagnosis of tumours and other diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract as well as of the pancreas. In this handbook, experts concentrate primarily on practical aspects of using endosonography with longitudinal scans. Examination techniques, interpretation of the ultrasound images, and normal anatomy with important guiding structures are demonstrated by means of 3D CT images and the corresponding endosonographic images. In addition, pathological endosonographic findings and the current status of diagnosis using fine-needle biopsy are described.

Abdominal ultrasound is a major part of the practice of sonography. This well-written new book offers concise, clinical facts on abdominal ultrasound and a review of diagnostic ultrasonography exams of the abdomen and superficial structures. Tips on how to obtain and interpret images with American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) guidelines and self-assessment sections highlight this full colour, clinically-focused text. Divided into three parts, it covers introductory material, organs and emerging trends in abdominal sonography.
