Pneumopatie infiltrative diffuse. Clinica, anatomia patologica, HRTC
a cura di M. Maffessanti , G. Dalpiaz
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 246
Questo volume si prefigge di fornire a tutti coloro che, di fronte ad un sospetto clinico di Pneumopatia Infiltrativa Diffusa, si sentono confusi stante la molteplicita delle patologie in gioco a fronte di una sintomatologia, di un radiogramma del torace e di reperti funzionali sovente aspecifici. Nella pratica clinica, l'iniziale orientamento in questo labirinto e sempre dato sempre piu spesso dalla Tomografia Computerizzata ad Alta Risoluzione (HRTC) i cui reperti consentono di formulare le prime ipotesi e di programmare gli accertamenti successivi ma talvolta sono di per se stessi conclusivi. La proposta degli Autori e di usare proprio l'HRTC come "filo d'Arianna" per districarsi nel dedalo di queste pneumopatie, e precisamente di partire dalla TC del Paziente, identificarne il pattern predominante per mezzo di immagini di riferimento e poi, con l'aiuto di tavole sinottiche, di restringere il ventaglio delle ipotesi diagnostiche ad una o comunque ad un numero limitato di malattie. Ciascuna malattia e poi trattata in uno spazio dedicato dove vengono descritti l'epidemiologia ed i fattori di rischio, le modalita di presentazione e i dati funzionali e successivamente vengono illustrati gli aspetti anatomopatologici, radiologici ed i reperti del lavaggio broncoalveolare. Non mancano paragrafi che ne delineano evoluzione e complicanze ed altri che propongono concretamente l'iter diagnostico piu opportuno per giungere alla diagnosi definitiva."

Imaging and Intervention in Abdominal Trauma
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 728
This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the imaging and management of abdominal trauma. Detailed attention is paid to pathophysiology, clinical symptoms and findings, all relevant imaging modalities and other tests employed to evaluate abdominal injuries at the time of admission of the trauma victim. Types of management -- surgical, conservative, interventional radiological, and endoscopic -- are described in depth. Posttraumatic complications are discussed, including those arising from treatment. There are general chapters on patient resuscitation, logistics, and medicolegal issues. Besides visceral abdominal injuries, lumbar spine and pelvic bone fractures are discussed. An appendix lists all the major trauma classifications relating to abdominal injuries. The book is richly illustrated. Its major advantage is its completeness, encompassing, as it does, mechanisms of trauma, clinical findings, and imaging and treatment options.
Functional Imaging of the Chest
H-U Kauczor
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 240
For a long time, imaging of the chest was based on the use of either radiography, demonstrating lung morphology, or scintigraphy, looking at lung function. However, as a result of recent developments in CT and MRI technology it is now possible to perform dedicated investigations of different aspects of lung function, such as ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange, and respiratory mechanics. This volume, written by acknowledged experts in the field, provides a well-illustrated and comprehensive review of these novel approaches to functional imaging of the chest. It will be of great assistance to all who are establishing such strategies in the research or clinical arenas for the diagnostic work-up and follow-up of patients with lung diseases.
Radiology of the Petrous Bone
Marc Lemmerling , Spyros S. Kollias
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 260
This volume provides a complete overview of the imaging of the normal and diseased petrous bone. After an introduction describing the anatomy of the area, subsequent chapters address the various diseases and conditions affecting the petrous bone that are encountered in daily practice. At the beginning of each of these chapters an otologist explains what is expected of the radiologist. The various classic imaging methods are described and discussed in detail, and individual chapters are included on newer techniques such as functional imaging and virtual imaging. Imaging findings are documented with the aid of numerous informative high-quality illustrations. This book, with its straightforward structure based essentially on topography, will prove of immense value in daily practice.

editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 288
New neuroimaging techniques are developing at a break neck pace-every academic journal contains glossy pictures of brain activity corresponding to a particular task emblazoned in glorious technicolor. Discoveries about brain function in psychiatric disorders have been made at an equally rapid rate. However, most books on the subject have been written from a technical point of view. An introductory, easy-to-read guide, Neuroimaging in Psychiatry provides an overview and the clinical relevance of the latest neuroimaging findings. With contributions from an international panel of experts, this book reviews current findings from neuroimaging in schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, eating disorders, psychopathy, aging, and drug addiction. Chapter authors explore innovative and imaginative uses of neuro imaging technology, implications for our understanding of these disorders, and their impact on clinical practice. The book gives you a general overview of the main techniques to help you successfully complete a neuroimaging project.

Standard Variants of the Skull and Brain
Atlas for Neurosurgeons and Neuroradiologists
Wolfgang Seeger
editore: Springer Verlag GmbH
pagine: 378
The author describes in his unique style the anatomical variants of the brain and skull. This atlas is a continuation of his last work on "Neuronavigation and Neuroanatomy". Most anatomical reference volumes show a large number of common and rare variations. This atlas concentrates on well known and little known variants which are especially important for the clinicians, in particular the neurosurgeons and the radiologists. The variants have been grouped after areas of trepanation. The author presents also a number of so far unknown variants gathered from his personal theoretical and clinical experience of 50 years. Exact knowledge of anatomical variations which the surgeon may encounter helps to plan operations and to avoid unexpected complications. Variants of no clinical relevance, even rather common ones, have not been included.

pagine: 300
Given that treatment with curative intent is possible in only one-half of cancer victims, and that such treatment frequently fails, the majority of patients with cancer will require relief of symptoms and signs caused by their disease. In this book, the specific contribution of radiation therapy to palliation is considered within the context of multidisciplinary management. Individual chapters are devoted to palliative radiation therapy for primary tumours and metastases at different sites. The management of pain is discussed, and chapters are also devoted to end of life care, the management of complications of radiation therapy, and useful medications. This book will prove useful to radiation oncologists and medical students.
MRI of the Hand and Wrist
Thomas H. Berquist
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 292
MRI has become increasingly useful in defining subtle injuries of the hand and wrist (i.e. ligament and tendon injuries, nerve compression, bone lesions, arthritis) due to improved imaging techniques and new coil technology which permit visualization of the most intricate anatomical structures. "MRI of the Hand and Wrist" is the first dedicated text to chronicle the tremendous technological advances and new applications that have occurred in this area over the past five years. The emphasis is on MR anatomy, techniques for performing MR studies, and utility for specific clinical problems. Features include: comparisons of MRI with CT, ultrasound, and other modalities where appropriate; discussion of common technical and anatomic pitfalls to help avoid errors in interpreting MR images; and specific applications organized by etiologies.

Although books on accident and emergency radiology exist, there are no learning resources for those new to reporting or reviewing emergency X-rays. This text has a quiz format covering 150 cases, enabling the reader to test themselves on common as well as rare and easy-to-miss fractures. Particularly difficult areas such as the cervical spine are covered in depth. In addition, some normal films are included to mimic the reality of emergency film reporting. Each X-ray is clearly shown with concise practical answers that can be applied to every day situations. The book is designed to be dipped into by radiology and orthopaedic trainees, radiographers reporting X-ray films, and casualty officers, medical students and nurses.
