Oltre a P.R. Biondetti e M. Vigo, Collaboratori editoriali, Mazzucato ha coinvolto alcuni Colleghi per argomenti di specifica competenza. Lo ha fatto in maniera organica, cosa che ha prodotto un'opera aggiornata, completa e allo stesso tempo omogenea. Un'opera indispensabile per chi, Medico o aspirante Tecnico, si avvicina alla Radiologia Diagnostica, preparandosi culturalmente e professionalmente ad esercitarla. Un'opera nel contempo di estrema utilità per una consultazione spesso chiarificatrice da parte di Radiologi e Tecnici in attività.

L'impostazione della seconda edizione del Compendio tende ad esprimere, in modo più rigoroso e compiuto, lo stato attuale della Radiologia Interventistica, descrivendo gli sviluppi e i traguardi che questa Disciplina ha ormai raggiunto, attestandosi su un piano di procedure codificate, oggettivamente definite ed accettate dalla Comunità Scientifica. Su queste basi l'obiettivo primario del testo, sempre indirizzato agli studenti di Medicina e Chirurgia e ai medici di Medicina Generale, permane ma acquista una maggiore valenza conoscitiva e scientifica, in quanto mira a far conoscere un insieme di opportunità diagnostiche e terapeutiche operative, che devono ormai necessariamente far parte della formazione culturale di ogni medico e che sono indispensabili per una appropriata gestione del Paziente e della Salute Pubblica.

Il moderno radiologo deve possedere un'approfondita conoscenza della clinica e dell'anatomia patologica e la capacità di correlazione con i reperti radiologici, al fine di poter cogliere anche i minimi segni e reperti rilevabili. Nel presente manuale, che raccoglie 100 casi ben selezionati e significativi, gli autori dimostrano come, partendo dalla storia clinica del paziente e sfruttando al meglio le tecniche di imaging, sia possibile giungere alla diagnosi: in tal modo, si riduce il ricorso a procedure invasive e a indagini inutili e/o superflue. Grazie al taglio pratico e alla concisa trattazione del testo, i giovani radiologi e gli specializzandi hanno a disposizione un valido e rapido strumento di conoscenza del corretto approccio, approfondimento e aggiornamento della disciplina.

Essential Medical Imaging is a concise introductory text covering the clinical role of radiology in adult and paediatric medicine and surgery. The emphasis is on placing radiology in a clinical context and guiding the reader to apply imaging modalities to specific clinical problems. An introductory section outlines the principles of image generation and image interpretation, as well as risks, benefits and costs. Subsequent sections review key clinical considerations and illustrate important radiology findings for each common clinical condition and patient population. A library of annotated normal radiological images and a terminology and abbreviations section are also included. A companion CD containing more detailed text and an extensive collection of clinical images accompanies the text. Highly visual and practical, Essential Medical Imaging is an invaluable resource for medical students, trainees in radiology, medicine & surgery, and for radiographers and all allied health professionals.

Interventional radiological techniques are becoming increasingly important in the treatment of both primary and secondary malignant liver tumours. Surgery for liver tumours can be effective but carries considerable risks and new techniques have recently been developed. This volume provides an account of interventional radiological methods by some of the greatest experts in the field. It includes chapters on cryotherapy, chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation and an extensive chapter on imaging techniques. The scientific background of these techniques, the pathology of the diseases involved and an analysis of more traditional surgical methods are also described. This text brings together the latest advances in this fast-developing field.

This definitive text by the foremost authorities on positron emission tomography (PET) has now been thoroughly revised to reflect the major alterations in PET technology and practice since the introduction of PET/CT scanners. Now titled "Principles and Practice of PET and PET/CT", this second edition includes many PET/CT images and new chapters dealing with CT scanning and PET/CT image fusion. The major focus is on strategies to optimally integrate CT and PET to a 'one-stop' diagnosis for cancer, heart disease, neurologic disorders, psychiatric disorders, infection, inflammation, and other conditions.

Revised and updated for its Third Edition, "Aunt Minnie's Atlas" is an excellent study tool for the oral radiology board examination. It features over 900 images and over 250 cases representing "Aunt Minnies" - diseases with unique radiographic features that allow a confident, immediate diagnosis. Each case is presented in an easy-to-follow format and includes crucial take-away points called "Aunt Minnie's Pearls." The cases represent all modalities and cover all subspecialties tested on the oral boards. This edition has more cases in more modalities, including new cases in breast MRI and digital mammography. A companion Website will offer new cases each quarter.

In this monograph, the authors summarize their findings in complex neuroimaging work (cranio-, spondylo-, myelo- and angiography as well as CT and MR imaging of the brain and spine) during their longstanding experience at the N. Burdenko Neurosurgical Institute in Moscow. The book begins with a review of modern neuroimaging techniques: CT and MR angiography, perfusion and diffusion imaging, tractography, spectroscopy and functional MR imaging. The problems and various other aspects of diagnosis of intra- and extra-axial brain tumors (more than 30,000 verified cases) as well as of cerebrovascular, infectious, demyelinating, degenerative and traumatic brain and spine lesions are discussed.The volume is well illustrated with angiographic, CT and MR images of complex diagnostic studies. The numerous images represent a 'visual text', which can be used as an atlas by practical clinicians. This book is a comprehensive reference manual for neurologists, neurotraumatologists and radiologists. It may also be of interest to technicians, medical physicists, students and other specialists interested in neurovisualization and diagnostic imaging.

Part of the "EXPERTddx" series, this unique print-and-electronic reference will guide radiologists toward logical, on-target differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical information. The book presents the most useful differential diagnoses for the musculoskeletal system, grouped into three categories: anatomy based, image based (radiograph/CT, MR, ultrasound, nuclear medicine), and clinically based. Each differential diagnosis includes at least eight clear, sharp, succinctly annotated images; a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but important; and brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues. The companion online Amirsys e-Book Advantage provides additional annotated images.

Imaging represents the most dynamic sub-discipline of emergency medicine, as recent technological advances have revealed. The use of ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans has revolutionized the way that acute injuries and conditions are managed in the emergency room. More sophisticated imaging modalities are commonplace now, enabling acute conditions such as cardiac arrest, aortic aneurysm, and fetal trauma to be diagnosed within seconds. This book is a new clinical resource in the field of emergency radiology and covers both the technical applications and interpretation of all imaging studies utilized in the emergency room, including x-rays, MRI, CT, and contrast angiography. The full spectrum of conditions diagnosed within each modality is covered in detail, and examples of normal radiologic anatomy, patterns, and anomalies are also included. With over 2,000 images to comprehensively cover every aspect of radiology in the emergency room, it is a standard reference for emergency physicians.
