Book SynopsisThis popular pocket atlas helps readers rapidly identify key anatomic structures of the neck, abdomen, female pelvis, and male genitalia on ultrasound scans...and shows how to distinguish these structures from artifacts. The thoroughly revised Second Edition features 74 sharp, new images obtained with state-of-the-art ultrasound technology.Each page presents a high-resolution image that is clearly labeled to point out anatomic landmarks. Directly above the image are a key to the labels and a thumbnail illustration that orients the reader to the plane of view (sagittal, axial, or coronal). This format--sharp images, orienting thumbnails, and clear keys--enables readers to identify features with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Praise for the previous edition: "Recommend that this atlas be in the pocket of all neophyte abdominal ultrasonographers and all first-year radiology residents. It should also be available in all radiology departments."-- Radiology

Book SynopsisIn parallel with the continuous rise of cancer incidence, efficient treatment becomes an increasingly important public health concern. Radiotherapy has remained one of the most important anticancer approaches for clinical management of a variety of human tumours, as at least half of all oncological patients receive this therapy at some stages of their disease. With the hope to attain greater anticancer response, the interest in using natural plant-derived products as complementary treatments to conventional radiotherapy has substantially increased in the recent years. However, the interactions between phytochemicals and ionizing radiation are not always known and can be often unpredictable. Therefore, in this book, the current findings about the combined treatments of malignant cells with radiation and flavonoids, the largest group of human dietary plant polyphenols, are described. These data show that under carefully chosen dosage-schedule regimens, certain flavonoids or their natural mixtures can behave as potent radiosensitizers, augmenting radiotherapeutic efficacy in different preclinical cancer models. Such radio-sensitising action of flavonoids can be achieved through modulation of the redox status and suppression of several cellular survival pathways activated by radiotherapy, ultimately leading to the death of malignant cells. As flavonoids can concurrently protect normal healthy cells from irradiation-induced injury and thereby minimize toxic adverse reactions, use of these plant-derived agents as complementary approach to radiotherapy might open new avenues for enhancement of clinical outcome. Therefore, combining conventional anticancer modalities with conscious intake of flavonoid supplements as adjuvant agents might be an important future strategy to boost the therapeutic success in the treatment of various human malignancies.Table of ContentsPreface; Introduction; The Role of Radiotherapy in Cancer Treatment: Current Opportunities and Challenges; Radiotherapy-Induced Cellular Responses: Major Mechanisms Behind Radioresistance; Plant Flavonoids as Potential Dietary Radiosensitizers; Modulation of Radiotherapeutic Efficacy by Dietary Flavonoids; Conclusions and Further Challenges; References; About the Author; Index.

Book SynopsisMost postgraduate examinations now include radiographic interpretation. This may be presented as a slide show of as a film-viewing session. Radiographs and other imaging modalities are also used ubiquitously in the viva' section of most such examinations including those of the American Boards and professional societies and universities worldwide. This series of Clinical Film Viewing will assist candidates to prepare for this process. Each book examines a particular system or technique followed by profusely illustrated cases typical of those presented in postgraduate examinations. The Cardiovascular System is aimed at candidates for postgraduate examinations in all specialties and especially those doctors with some training in cardiovascular disease who need to assess their knowledge of the subject.

Book SynopsisThe Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists' Part 2A Examination has undergone significant changes and a new format was initiated in Spring 2004. The multiple choice question examination has now been divided into six system modules and contains questions on anatomy, physics and techniques. The exam format underwent further revision in Winter 2005, implementing an increased emphasis on the cardiothoracic & vascular and paediatrics modules. This MCQ book was written to address all these changes. This book contains 500 multiple choice questions with short answers; all answers are fully referenced allowing for additional reading. Questions are drawn from the most commonly used textbooks, speciality textbooks and current radiology journals, reflecting the current 'hot topics' in radiology. Six mock papers are included which mirror the new and revised exam format. Radiology MCQs for the new FRCR Part 2A is the ideal revision tool for radiology registrars preparing for the newly revised exam.

Book SynopsisRadiology has been transformed by new imaging advances and a greater demand for imaging, along with a much lower tolerance for error as part of the Quality & Safety revolution in healthcare. With a greater emphasis on patient safety and quality in imaging practice, imaging specialists are increasingly charged with ensuring patient safety and demonstrating that everything done for patients in their care meets the highest quality and safety standards. This book offers practical guidance on understanding, creating, and implementing quality management programs in Radiology. Chapters are comprehensive, detailed, and organized into three sections: Core Concepts, Management Concepts, and Educational & Special Concepts. Discussions are applicable to all practice settings: community hospitals, private practice, academic radiology, and government/military practice, as well as to those preparing for the quality and safety questions on the American Board of Radiology''s Maintenance of CertificatiTrade ReviewQuality and Safety in Radiology is a very timely and well-planned book discussing the latest topics in an ever-increasingly important subsegment of radiology--quality and safety issues. In their excellent book, co-editors Hani H. Abujedeh and Michael A. Bruno discuss a variety of current topics that collectively comprise the arguably budding but important field of radiology quality and safety. The two editors--along with 47 nationally and internationally recognized experts--have created an up-to-date, easy-to-reference textbook covering a wide spectrum of quality and patient safety issues as they apply to diagnostic imaging. The goal of the authors was to create a reference text covering the essentials of quality and safety specifically geared to diagnostic radiology. The authors have brilliantly accomplished their goal with this well-organized and easy-to-read book. This excellent book is well priced; I highly recommend [it]. -Robert D.

Book SynopsisThere is an increase in specialisation within general surgery and now even within its sub specialties. Colorectal surgery is probably the largest of the subspecialties of general surgery, and one of the areas where trainees and consultant general /colorectal surgeons are least confident is in their understanding of the anatomy, physiological pathology and management of the anal canal and pelvis. Currently available there are books on the market centred around the general management of colorectal disease, but the time is now right for a definitive text on the anal canal and pelvis specifically.
