CMR and MDCT in Cardiac Masses
Published: 2011-09-23 | ISBN: 3642184561 |163 pages

This book, unique in focusing specifically on cardiac masses, is the result of cooperation among a number of teams of radiologists working under the aegis of the French Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (SFICV). Its goal is to 1) review the different CMR sequences and CT acquisition protocols used to explore cardiac masses, 2) to demonstrate the several CMR and MDCT features of cardiac masses. It has been designed as a teaching tool and offers a fully illustrated compendium of clinical cases, tables summarizing data, and decision-making trees essential in everyday practice. It is presented as a practical handbook and can be either read cover to cover or consulted whenever needed during a cardiac imaging assignment. The book is intended for all students and experienced practitioners, whether radiologists or not, who are interested in cardiac or thoracic pathology.

English | 2006-03-30 | ISBN: 0071413006 | 1008 pages

Diagnostic Thoracic Imaging provides a heavily illustrated resource for Radiologists and residents pursuing the most up to date information in current chest radiology.

Diagnostic Thoracic Imaging illustrates how to apply a highly practical pattern-recognition approach to the rapid detection and diagnosis of chest pathology. This approach trains the reader in the practical systematic evaluation of thoracic disease while providing an indispensable reference for on-the-job problem solving.

Diagnostic Thoracic Imaging is the single most comprehensive visual compilation available for thoracic diagnosis, with:

- More than 2000 multi-modality illustrations
- Coverage of focal lung diseases…diffuse lung diseases…mediastinal masses…hilar abnormalities…pleural abnormalities
- A pattern approach to benefit the user in retaining presented information

Ultrasound of the Musculoskeletal System
Published: 2007| ISBN: 3540422676 | 992 pages

This book is a comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. It is organized into two main sections. The first is devoted to general aspects, while the second provides a systematic overview of the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in different areas of the body. Additional sections address instrumentation, interventional procedures, and pediatric applications. Each chapter of the second main section provides an introduction on clinical anatomy and the essentials of clinical history and physical examination. Thereafter, performance of the ultrasound study is explained and the normal and pathological anatomy is reviewed. To assist in understanding, the ultrasound scans are correlated with drawings, photographs, images obtained using other modalities, and anatomic specimens. There is a generous complement of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment. This book will acquaint beginners with the basics of musculoskeletal ultrasound, while more advanced sonologists and sonographers will learn new skills, means of avoiding pitfalls, and ways of effectively relating the ultrasound study to the clinical background.

Interpreting Chest X-Rays: Illustrated with 100 Cases
Published: 2005-02-14 | ISBN: 0521607329 | 210 pages

Interpreting chest X-rays can seem baffling and intimidating for senior medical students and newly qualified doctors. This highly illustrated guide provides the ideal introduction to chest radiology. It uses 100 clinical cases to illuminate a wide range of common medical conditions, each illustrated with a chest X-ray and a clear description of the significant diagnostic features and their clinical relevance. Where appropriate CT scans and bronchoscopic imaging are also included as part of the investigation. Pulmonary medicine is largely based on a strong foundation on the plain chest radiograph. Indeed chest radiography is the single most common investigation done in hospital practice. This illustrated collection of case studies will help make the learning process easier and more enjoyable and less painful. As well as illuminating pearls of core knowledge in chest X-ray interpretation, it highlights some of the pitfalls that might wrong-foot the inexperienced practitioner.
