Book SynopsisPresenting ultrasound pathology from a clinical perspective, this title discusses various pathologies that may be related to a patient's symptoms and features illustrations with ultrasound scans that demonstrate each pathology.Trade Review"This book covers a wide range of ultrasound examinations looking at the clinical question first. It is written for sonographers and student sonographers by two Academics and a sonographer. Because this book is written by American authors some terminology will be incorrect in the UK setting. [...] However, as long as the reader is aware of this, most Ultrasound Departments will find this a useful resource to have on their shelves and use for CPD." Reviewed by: Allison Harris, Clinical Co-Ordinator, City University London, Date: Oct 14 "I really like the design and clinical focus of this book and believe that it will stimulate critical thinking among its transatlantic target audience. For UK readers, though, I feel it has less appeal."

Book SynopsisDieses Buch ist die offiziell genehmigte, deutsche Übersetzung des ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas in seiner fünften Auflage. Der ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas ist ein qualitätssicherndes Werkzeug zur Standardisierung des Berichtswesens, der Unklarheiten in der Befundung der Mammadiagnostik wie auch bei den Vorschlägen zum weiteren Vorgehen verringern soll. Er macht die Ergebnisse von Instituten wie auch von einzelnen Befundern vergleichbarer und leichter kontrollierbar und verbessert somit die Versorgungsqualität für die Patientinnen. Inhalt: Der ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas umfasst das Spektrum der in der Praxis etablierten und wissenschaftlich fundierten Bildgebung der Mamma und besteht aus vier Teilen Mammografie, Sonographie der Mamma, Magnetresonanztomografie der Mamma sowie Nachkontrolle und Ergebnisüberwachung, in dem das klinisch relevante Audit und das erweiterte Audit der medizinischen Qualitätskontrolle erläutert werden. Nach einem jeweils einführenden Kapitel zu den drei bildgebenden diagnostischen Methoden folgt ein Atlasteil mit klaren Angaben zu den diagnostischen Kriterien wie Form, Rand, Verkalkungen, Kriterien der Kontrastmittelaufnahme etc., die sich durch klare Definitionen und einheitliche Benennungen auszeichnen. Für jedes Beschreibungskriterium wird hochqualitatives Bildmaterial gezeigt. Danach erläutert jeweils ein Kapitel, wie ein Befund erstellt werden sollte. Ziel ist es, anhand einer klaren und eindeutigen Diktion ohne adjektivische Ausschmückungen die Malignitätswahrscheinlichkeit einer Veränderung einzustufen, die sog. Festlegungskategorien 0-6 nach BI-RADS®, und auf dieser Grundlage ebenso klare Handlungsempfehlungen zur weiteren Aufarbeitung auszusprechen, die vom Vergleich mit Voraufnahmen über weitere bildgebende Diagnostik bis zur Empfehlung der Gewebediagnose mittels Biopsie reichen. Eingehend werden die Unterschiede von Screening- und diagnostischen Kategorisierungen abgehandelt. Der Leser findet jeweils im Kapitel "Hilfestellung" praktischen Rat zur Anwendung der deskriptiven Terminologie der einzelnen Verfahren, zur richtigen Verwendung der BI-RADS® Kategorien und zur Konkordanz von Befund und Handlungsempfehlung, abgeschlossen durch ein Schlusskapitel mit häufig gestellten Fragen und den Antworten darauf. Am Ende der diagnostischen Kapitel stehen komprimierte Formblätter, die dem Leser als Vorlage zu seinem Befundungssystem dienen können. Damit geht dieses Buch weit über den Rahmen eines Atlas hinaus, es ist eine große normative Hilfe für alle Probleme der Screening- und der diagnostischen Bildgebung.Trade Review“... Es findet sich hochqualitatives Bildmaterial für jedes Beschreibungskriterium. … Ein gelungenes und umfassendes Werk, das mit den ausführlichen Erläuterungen, den Hilfestellungen am Ende eines jeden Kapitels sowie dem neu eingefügten Teil IV „Hilfestellung" weit über den Rahmen eines Atlas hinausgeht. Das umfangreiche, aber doch gut lesbare Nachschlagewerk ist sowohl für den Einsteiger als auch für den versierten Mamma-Radiologen eine große Hilfe in der täglichen Routine ...” (Dr.med.

Book SynopsisSince its first edition in 1980, Essential Physics for Radiographers has earned an international reputation as a clear and straightforward introduction to the physics of radiography. Now in its fourth edition, this book remains a core textbook for student radiographers. The authors have retained the pragmatic approach of earlier editions and continue to target the book particularly at those students who find physics a difficult subject to grasp. The fourth edition builds on the major revisions introduced in the third edition. The content has been updated to reflect recent advances in imaging technology. The chapter on Radiation Safety has been completely rewritten in the light of the latest changes in relevant legislation, and a re-examination of the physical principles underpinning magnetic resonance imaging forms the basis of a new chapter. Worked examples and calculations again feature strongly, and the innovative and popular Maths Help File, guides readers gTable of Contents1. General Physics. 2.

Book SynopsisThe method of making findings and the systematic method of interpreting images are still relevant today. This book deals with a subject that is seemingly trivial: normal findings in radiology. However, the normal is also the frequent, but not always the simple. Every radiologist has experienced difficulties in the systematics of imaging and with phrasing the diagnosis. This book is intended to answer three questions: How should the diagnosis be phrased? Which general scheme can I use to evaluate an image; how can I check for the degree of normality? Which data allow me to evidence normality, and what measurements should be taken? In spite of the introduction of digital X-ray imaging, the interpretation of conventional X-rays has not basically changed during the past ten years, which is evidenced by the development of this book. Since its first publication in 1987, it has gone through several unchanged reprints. In the 2nd German edition the text has hardly been changed; however, several new images have been added. The method of making findings and the systematic method of interpreting images are still relevant today. Consequently, the strict and systematic organization of the book was left unchanged. The new layout leads to a clearer accessibility of the material for the reader.Table of ContentsThe Skull The Spine The Upper Extremity The Lower Extremity Stress Radiographs Other Plain Films Spot Film Radiography Conventional Tomography Contrast Examinations of the Gastrointestinal Tract Intravenous Contrast Studies Arthrography Arteriography Venography Special Examinations

Book SynopsisSingle photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been used in routine diagnostic applications and in research since the 1980s. In the following decades, as the clinical application of hybrid imaging has grown, SPECT–computed tomography (SPECT–CT) has demonstrated improved patient management and become fully integrated in the routine diagnostic approach to a variety of clinical indications, including both oncologic and non-oncologic diseases. This IAEA Human Health Series publication presents a review of the published data from recent applications of SPECT–CT across nine different clinical scenarios including neurology, orthopaedics, endocrinology and cardiology, to demonstrate the variety of hybrid imaging in nuclear medicine and support decision making when allocating resources in the health care system. It provides a relevant source of information for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists and clinical practitioners.
