Mini Atlas Of Computed Tomography

This book presents recent advances in CT scan technology and permits normal anatomic structures and change in their structure and morphology due to pathology, to be seen with clarity. The authors aims to introduce the medical fraternity to the fascinating pathological changes on CT imaging. The images are labeled where required to provide better interpretational understanding. The images provide an easy and comprehensive understanding of the subject. This assemblage of images is meant to assist as a companion to the CT imaging department in providing systematized direction in their routine day- to-day work. Useful, handy manual for a systematic entry into the beautiful world of cross sectional imaging.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. An MRI scanner is a large tube that contains powerful magnets. A patient lies inside the tube during the scan (NHS Choices). Part of the Jaypee Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series, this book is a comprehensive guide to MRI. Beginning with an introduction to the history and physics of MRI, each of the following sections discusses imaging and diagnosis of diseases in different areas of the body. MRI images for each condition are preceded by text summarising the disease, ultrasound and CT findings and important MRI findings to help clinicians interpret and make accurate diagnoses. The final sections list MR terms and acronyms. Key points Part of the Jaypee Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series Comprehensive guide to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Presents MRI images with descriptive text for numerous diseases Includes lists of key MR terms and acronyms

In this monography we report some confrontations of CT and ana tomical data recorded during the last years in Leuven, Bruxelles and Strasbourg, three neighbouring universities. This material represents only a small part of our cases, but we have selected those which seemed the most suited for didactic purposes. This study is made in the traditional european way and confronts the data of an investigation with the examination of the corresponding anatomic specimen. Obviously this is only possible in very few cases. But then, these cases provide a striking demonstration of the morphol ogy of lesions seen at CT. Our aim was to provide material for teaching. This book is the first part of a trilogy; the two others deal with the pathology of the trunk. A. WACKENHEIM, L. JEANMART, A.L.

With the advent of CT we entered a new area of radiological imaging. Structures which rarely if ever were seen became apparent. In no part of the body was the impact of CT as profound as it was in the retroperitoneum. In the pre-CT area this region of the body could not be directly studied and only when gross abnormalities were present could they be appreciated. The best we could do was to try to identify a suspected process by studying its effect on surrounding organs whose position might have been affected by the growth. Urography, barium studies or angiography were employed in the hope that variation in the position of the vessels, ureter or bowel would lead us to the correct diagnosis. With computed tomography all this changed. Modern scanners, available to all today, permit us to appreciate details undreamed of only few years ago. The abundance of fat in this region helps to clearly show even the smallest of structures. We now have the ability to recognize small vessels, lymph nodes and fascial planes. We had a tool which permitted us to study structures which hitherto were only seen by the anatomist or during surgical dissection.

The images are all accompanied by telling legends that are much easier to follow than lengthy blocks of text. This edition features new chapters on expiratory HRCT; vascular diseases; problem-solving cases; and lung transplantation and lung volume reduction surgery. Other highlights include expanded coverage of anatomic variance...more HRCT appearances of drug toxicity...an expanded ARDS section...and pediatric cases.

It was our aim to place at the disposal of radiologists within a short time an atlas of high-quality, valuable pictures of abdominal CT without We felt that, the image degradation inherent to slower scanning apparatus. notwithstanding rapid evolution in CT scanning apparatus and the resulting rapid advances in our clinical knowledge about the value, limitations and applications of this new diagnostic imaging modality, an effort should be made to realize an atlas of reference. From more than 7,000 patients studied with abdominal CT, we tried to assemble images with maximal anatomical detail, which implies the use of large window settings, being well aware that in daily routine practice basic CT methodology includes the use of different window settings for optimal information. It was, however, a conscious decision not to use comparative images with large and small window settings in order to stay within a reasonable total number of figures. Much emphasis has been placed upon the use of contrast enhancement by intravenous contrast media. This is based on the conviction that essen tially new and better morphological information about normal and pathological processes within the abdomen can be obtained because short exposure times now allow one to capture the rapidly changing aspect and degree of contrast enhancement of the lesions as a function of their vascu larity.

Diabetes mellitus is a lifelong metabolic disease which if untreated may lead to complications and an increase in morbidity and mortality. It not only affects affluent society but also common men. With increasing trends in the incidence of diabetes globally, the WHO has predicted that by 2025, India will be capital of diabetes and every 6th person will be diabetic. The so much predicted high incidence will not only put financial burden on the society but will also exhaust government resources for health care delivery system.

The aim of this radiological atlas is to connect pathophysiology to imaging using many illustrations and examples, emphasizing the capabilities and limitations of multidetector computed tomography and its role in the correct management approach to these disorders. Furthermore, the place of allied imaging modalities (plain film and ultrasound) in the clinical algorithm is comprehensively illustrated.

Sectional anatomy is a valuable resource for understanding and interpreting imaging exams, specially computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thus, health professionals should have a solid anatomical knowledge to properly evaluate such exams during clinical assessments of cardiac, thoracic, abdominal, proctologic, gynecological and urological diseases. The chapters in this book describe the thoracic anatomy, the abdominal wall, retroperitoneal space, and the male and female pelvis. Sectional images of cadaveric material illustrate the thoracic and the abdominal cavities, kidney, ureter, prostate, penis and other male and female organs. The images and descriptions build familiarity with the anatomical traits and can be applied in the fields of urology, gynecology, proctology, radiology and surgery. This work appeals to a wide range of readers, from health professionals to residents and students of different medical specialties.
