Medicine, in all its branches, has in fact focused more and more on the health conditions of the elderly patient and its protection and, in this context, due to the increasing progress in the field of technology and imaging methods, the radiologist occupies a front-line position.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUnlike the young or middle-aged patients, the elderly need special care and attention, especially because of the involutive-degenerative senile processes they have to face, which must be taken into account to avoid incurring into misdiagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRadiology, in fact, aims more and more at developing imaging techniques that are on the one hand satisfactory and comprehensive, but at the same time that do not represent any risk and\/or obstacle for the elderly patient.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe aim of this book is to provide the radiologist, and not only, with an adequate and complete geriatric preparation, thus to improve the diagnostic-therapeutic management of those patients who, to date, constitute the most conspicuous part of the medical-health users.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1              Imaging Techniques in Geriatric Patients\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e2              Neurodegenerative Diseases in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e3              Neurovascular Emergencies in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e4              Head and Neck in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e5              Heart Diseases in Geriatric Patients  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e6              Vascular Diseases in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e7              Airway Diseases in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e8              Neoplastic Disease in Respiratory System in Geriatric Patients\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e9              The Gastrointestinal System in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e10           The Male Urogenital System in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e11           The Female Urogenital System in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e12           Osteoarthritis in Axial Skeleton in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e13           Osteoarthritis in Appendicular Skeleton in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e14           Metabolic Bone Diseases in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e15           Body Composition in the Elderly \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e16           Myeloid and Lymphoid Disorders in Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e17           The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Management of Geriatric Patients \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e                \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043572220247,"sku":"9783031148767","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783031148767.jpg?v=1750958720","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/imaging-in-geriatrics-9783031148767","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
