Nowadays, there is tremendous interest in an integrated imaging approach to urogenital diseases. This interest is tightly linked to the recent technological advances in ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine. Significant improvements in image quality have brought numerous clinical and diagnostic benefits to every medical specialty. This book is organized in nine parts and twenty-seven chapters. The first six chapters review the normal macroscopic and radiological anatomy of the urogenital system. In subsequent chapters, urogenital malformations, lithiasis, as well as infectious and neoplastic disorders of the kidneys, bladder, urinary collecting system, and male and female genitalia are extensively discussed. The pathologic, clinical, and diagnostic (instrumental and not) features of each disease are described, with particular emphasis, in neoplastic pathologies, on primitive tumors and disease relapse. The statics and dynamics of the pelvic floor are addressed as well and there is a detailed presentation of state-of-the-art interventional radiology. The volume stands out in the panorama of the current medical literature by its rich iconography. Over 1000 anatomical illustrations and images, with detailed captions, provide ample evidence of how imaging can guide the therapeutic decision-making process. "Imaging of Urogenital Diseases" is an up-to-date text for radiologists, urologists, gynecologists, and oncologists, but it also certainly provides an invaluable tool for general practitioners. Its succinct, well-reasoned approach integrates old and new knowledge to obtain diagnostic algorithms. This information will direct the clinician to the imaging modality best-suited to yielding the correct diagnosis.

La seconda edizione del “Trattato di Ginecologia e Ostetricia” completamente aggiornata e arricchita di dieci nuovi capitoli. Uno sforzo per il quale devo ringraziare tutti gli autori che hanno avuto la pazienza di rimettersi al lavoro per aggiornare i capitoli esistenti e aggiungerne di nuovi. Una nuova edizione è certamente motivo di soddisfazione e orgoglio perché denota che questa iniziativa editoriale ha incontrato il favore dei lettori cui era destinata. Voglio tuttavia ricordare che, in primis, si è trattato di un esperimento editoriale visto che il trattato ha un p0′ stravolto i canoni classici a cui si sono attenuti per decenni tutti i testi della specialità Ciò nonostante, in un mondo scientifico che cambia rapidamente, in particolare per quanto riguarda la nostra specialità c’è la necessità di aggiornamenti pressoché quotidiani, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la medicina materno fetale, e ritengo che lo sforzo di un aggiornamento (fra l’altro, con una rapida pubblicazione) possa incontrare le esigenze dello studioso che ha sempre bisogno di un valido testo scritto di riferimento. Infine, in questa edizione ho identificato i co-editori per le varie scienze cliniche tra le persone che più hanno aiutato alla realizzazione di questa opera. Spero, pertanto, di poter riconfermare il successo editoriale della prima edizione.
