Recenzje

From the reviews:

"Images in Urology is a multidisciplinary multi-author volume covering the subject of urological imaging in a case review format. ... The multidisciplinary nature of the text is a particularly useful point and will serve as an excellent educational tool, not only for radiologists but also urology trainees and consultants. ... I have learnt a lot from it and I am sure it will be profitably read by all with an interest in this particular area of medicine." (A. K. Banerjee, RAD Magazine, July, 2012)

"Editors Bott, Patel, Djavan and Carroll aimed to compile a large amount of images intended for trainee urologists and, possibly, for pathology and radiology trainees. ... Undoubtedly, this textbook fills a lack in current literature on this subject since it offers an excellent compendium of more than 150 clinical cases which are richly illustrated and commented by experts. ... the intended readers of the textbook could also include senior practitioners and teachers who are looking for practical information for their students." (European Urology Today, June/July, 2012)

Images in Urology is a unique book that integrates images of urological conditions within their clinical context. Improvements in imaging techniques have meant greater diagnostic power and a dramatic rise in the number and quality of images obtained and viewed by practicing clinicians. None more so than in the field of urology, where static and dynamic images are fundamental to the diagnosis and treatment of almost all conditions. This book presents images of radiological and radionucleotide scans, macroscopic and microscopic histopathology specimens, urodynamic traces and photographs of dermatological conditions relating to urology. Each section has a series of questions, often relating to a clinical scenario, about the images. A comprehensive answer provides a description of each image and of the condition shown. Details of how to interpret the image and the use of contrast or staining methods to help differentiate normal anatomy from pathology are included. Images in Urology is an essential tool for urology, radiology and histopathology  trainees and consultants, as well as being an excellent exam preparation guide.
