Sharpen your diagnostic skills for brain and spine disorders with this unique patterns-based approach to learning

Brain and Spine Imaging Patterns presents a systematic approach to understanding one of the most challenging areas of radiologic interpretation. Uniquely organized by various patterns seen on CT, MRI, and plain radiography imaging rather than pathology, the book carefully guides you toward a group of differential diagnoses. You will find an unmatched collection of more than 140 patterns covering: skull defects and lesions; meningeal and sulcal diseases;...

Written by internationally renowned experts, this volume is a collection of chapters dealing with imaging diagnosis and interventional therapies in neuroradiology and diseases of the spine. The different topics are disease-oriented and encompass all the relevant imaging modalities including X-ray technology, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and magnetic resonance, as well as image-guided interventional techniques. It represents a unique experience for residents in radiology as well as for experienced radiologists wishing to be updated on the current state of the art.

During the past decade, coronary radiology has undergone rapid development. This second edition of the only available monograph on the subject places special emphasis on the role of non-invasive techniques, which can supply information on the condition of the coronary arteries within one simple and short examination. The modalities considered in detail include CT angiography with multidetector and dual-source tomography, 2D and 3D visualization techniques, and MR coronary angiography. Invasive procedures are not neglected, however, and a separate section includes chapters on conventional...

This book introduces the concepts and practical tools necessary to understand the behavior of biological macromolecules at a quantitative level. It begins by describing biochemical phenomena using principles of classical and statistical thermodynamics. Unlike other books, this text goes beyond theory to explain in detail how the equations are applied to the analysis of experimental measurements. This emphasis on real-world applications is continued throughout and is a major feature of the book.

Il referto e l atto medico che qualifica il radiologo come specialista ed e la sua modalita ufficiale di comunicare sia col medico prescrittore sia con chi si sottopone a esami diagnostici. Il referto dovrebbe pertanto essere chiaro e comprensibile, redatto con un linguaggio condiviso. Ma e davvero cosi nella realta radiologica attuale? Purtroppo no - e cio non vale solo nel nostro paese. L argomento e stato infatti da sempre sottovalutato e quasi mai inserito nei programmi d insegnamento delle Scuole di Specialita; inoltre, a tutt oggi non esistono linee-guida affidabili, nonostante la...

La TC spirale multistrato (TCMS) e una metodica cardine nella diagnostica addominale, in grado di offrire un contributo spesso determinante per l'inquadramento clinico del paziente. Una diagnosi accurata non puo, comunque, prescindere da una rigorosa tecnica di esame, in continua evoluzione parallelamente allo sviluppo delle apparecchiature. Attraverso la presentazione di casi riguardanti le principali patologie addominali, il volume rappresenta per il Radiologo generale e per lo Specializzando una guida snella in grado di supportarli nelle decisioni riguardanti l'ottimizzazione dei...

MRI Atlas of Prostate Cancer analyses high-resolution MRI scanning and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. This combination improves the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer and may soon replace PSA testing and digital rectal examination. The first two chapters focus on normal anatomy, anatomic variations, benign disease and intraprostatic tumors. The subsequent chapters on MRI of extracapsular disease create a useful atlas of pathologic anatomy. This is the first text of its kind to show color-coded DCE-MRI scans of prostate cancer and to correlate these imaging findings with tumor...

Praise for this series:

"Allow s] a quick visual review of common diagnoses in a volume that easily fits into one's lab coat." --American Journal of Neuroradiology

"This Atlas should be in the library of the Departments of Rediology to be consulted not only by the radiologist resident but definitely also by the junior orthopedists, and obviously by more senior members of the radiological staff." --Clinical Imaging May 2011, Antonio F. Govoni, MD

Dx-Direct is a series of eleven Thieme books covering the main
subspecialties in radiology. It includes all the cases you are most likely to
see in your typical working day as a radiologist. For each condition or disease
you will find the information you need -- with just the right level of detail.

Dx-Direct gets to the point: - Definitions, Epidemiology, Etiology, and Imaging
Signs - Typical Presentation, Treatment Options, Course and Prognosis -
Differential Diagnosis, Tips and Pitfalls, and Key References
