Opis

This book contains over 1700 high quality radiological illustrations and photographs of medical foreign bodies in radiography and CT. Iatrogenically introduced foreign materials are a broad field. Physicians are increasingly confronted with medically introduced foreign bodies in radiological diagnostics. These must be identified and physicians must know and recognize the correct position or, if necessary, incorrect position as well as further complications. For the first time, this volume provides you with a guide to the diagnosis and evaluation of numerous foreign materials in the following body regions: Skull/brain: duraplasty, bone flaps, shunts and valves, coils and stents, etc. Eye: oil, fillings, artificial lenses, prostheses, cerclages and much more. Teeth: post teeth, bridges and implants, etc. Ear: Hearing aids, implants, and more. Skeleton/spine: osteosynthesis material (wires, screws, plates), vertebral body, intervertebral disc and joint replacement, scoliosis therapy, kyphoplasty, etc. You will also learn the special features in the imaging of Medication pumps Accidental foreign bodies: corpus alienum, gossypiboma, aspiration and ingestion Traumatic foreign bodies: perforation, blast injuries, gunshot wounds, etc. know.

This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
