Opis

​This book will incorporate a multimodality approach toward inflammatory bowel diseases. Up to date imaging methodologies will be described along with their strengths and weaknesses that will help in providing a rational diagnostic strategy for clinical, surgical and support teams working with these patients. Advances in medical and surgical treatment would be detailed and these would be useful to readers and professionals keen to implement these techniques in their own clinical practice.

Recenzje

"This is an overview of what is currently known about Crohn's disease and the available therapeutic options. ... Although this book is intended for practicing physicians, it is written at a level that is more appropriate for medical students. ... The book is an easy read and can be read in its entirety in one evening." (Colin E. Wolslegel, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2016)
