This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of CT we entered a new area of radiological imaging. Structures which rarely if ever were seen became apparent. In no part of the body was the impact of CT as profound as it was in the retroperitoneum. In the pre-CT area this region of the body could not be directly studied and only when gross abnormalities were present could they be appreciated. The best we could do was to try to identify a suspected process by studying its effect on surrounding organs whose position might have been affected by the growth. Urography, barium studies or angiography were employed in the hope that variation in the position of the vessels, ureter or bowel would lead us to the correct diagnosis. With computed tomography all this changed. Modern scanners, available to all today, permit us to appreciate details undreamed of only few years ago. The abundance of fat in this region helps to clearly show even the smallest of structures. We now have the ability to recognize small vessels, lymph nodes and fascial planes. We had a tool which permitted us to study structures which hitherto were only seen by the anatomist or during surgical dissection.
Download or read book CT of the Retroperitoneum written by Giorgio Ascenti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the continuously evolving field of dual-energy CT (DECT). An introductory section presents information on the physical and technical background of DECT and considers nonspecific and specific software advantages. Clinical applications of DECT in the evaluation of retroperitoneal viscera are then addressed in detail with the help of high-quality illustrations. Particular attention is devoted to the most recent DECT study protocols, software, and applications in aortic, renal, pancreatic, and adrenal disease. A number of case studies are reported that elucidate the advantages of DECT, and the relevant literature is extensively discussed. The book closes by considering radiation dose and dose-saving measures. The simple and practical approach offered by this book will assist radiologists in the optimal routine use and interpretation of DECT in different retroperitoneal sites and radiology technologists in the choice of settings and parameters.

Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the diagnosis and management of retroperitoneal tumors. It highlights current surgical techniques for combined resection and reconstruction of various abdominal and pelvic organs and structures, along with adjuvant therapy. The book consists of three parts: Part 1 summarizes basic knowledge on retroperitoneal tumors and provides a detailed introduction to diagnosis and treatment, while Part 2 focuses on the surgical techniques used for retroperitoneal tumors and describes general procedures for operations on retroperitoneal tumors at different sites. Lastly, Part 3 details the etiology, pathology, evaluation, treatment and prognosis of retroperitoneal tumors according to pathological subtypes. This book is designed as a resource and guide for surgical and medical oncologists working with retroperitoneal tumors.
Download or read book Metaphorical Signs in Computed Tomography of Chest and Abdomen written by Andrey Yudin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When analyzing the results of diagnostic imaging studies, the radiologist traditionally makes reference to particular features representative of normality or pathology. Most of these features are associated with images of the world around us. This pictorial issue contains nearly 400 illustrations and descriptions of more than 100 classic radiological signs of chest and abdominal diseases that are not named after authors but based on metaphors derived from contemplation of our environment. By correlating the results of computed tomography with these vivid descriptive images, readers will be able to memorize typical and often pathognomonic patterns of disease more quickly and more easily. This book will be of value for both radiology residents and more experienced radiologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a highly visual guide to the radiographic and advanced imaging modalities - such as computed tomography and ultrasonography - that are frequently used by physicians during the treatment of emergency patients. Covering practices ranging from ultrasound at the point of care to the interpretation of CT scan results, this book contains over 2,200 images, each with detailed captions and line-art that highlight key findings. Within each section, particular attention is devoted to practical tricks of the trade and tips for avoiding common pitfalls. Overall, this book is a useful source for experienced clinicians, residents, mid-level providers, or medical students who want to maximize the diagnostic accuracy of each modality without losing valuable time.

Download or read book Computed Tomography of the Gastrointestinal Tract written by Morton A. Meyers, MD, FACR, FACG and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed as a comprehensive, useful, up-to-date presenta tion of computed tomography (CT) of the major disease states involving the gastrointestinal tract, mesentery and peritoneal cavity. Rather than representing one institution's sole experience, the coverage reflects masterful contributions from international centers with the most exten sive experience. Plain £lm identification of intraperitoneal structures is generally lim ited to those aspects outlined by contrasting extraperitoneal fat or naturally occurring intraluminal gas. Routine contrast studies of the intestinal tract permit visualization of its internal mucosal contour alone. An outstanding limitation has been the inability to accurately evaluate the thickness of the bowel wall. In these circumstances, only indirect signs are relied upon for the radiologic diagnosis of mural or serosal disease. Approaches to visualize the bowel wall and perito neal reflections by the introduction of intraperitoneal contrast medium have been of only limited success (1-3). Computed tomography, by virtue of its superior density discrimination and excellent spatial resolu tion, permits exquisite imaging of the gastrointestinal tract, mesenter ies and peritoneal cavity. In the presentation of normal and pathologic anatomy and the discus sion of clinical efficacy, efforts have been made to keep the text as precise as possible. In the elaboration of CT's capability to detect and to determine the extent of disease, particularly as the findings relate to staging, insights and responsible conclusions are drawn for the accuracy, relia bility, limitations and sources of error for the study.
Download or read book CT of the Peritoneum written by Armando Rossi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elaborately illustrated book, written by two of the leading radiologists in Italy, is devoted entirely to computed tomography of the peritoneum. The case documentation encompasses both common and rare pathological conditions, and is the product of 20 years of painstaking research. Completely original aspects are the description of three-dimensional CT anatomy, with coronal and sagittal reconstructions, and the illustrative schemes of the peritoneum, ligaments, mesentery, peritoneal cavity, and sub- and extraperitoneal structures. This book will be invaluable in improving knowledge of a topic that cannot be treated in detail in general texts on abdominal CT.
