Synopsis

Surgeons need a good appreciation of modern imaging techniques in order to plan appropriate treatment in consultation with the radiologist. Yet radiology is poorly covered in general surgical books, and trainee surgeons are often confused by the array of imaging techniques available.



âImaging for Surgeonsã is written in a didactic user-friendly style. It outlines the imaging modalities available in clinical practice and provides guidelines to their appropriate use and interpretation in common surgical conditions. Over 300 images have been carefully selected to highlight key issues, and are integrated with the text throughout. Presented in an easy-to-follow format, the new edition is absolutely up-to-date with the latest imaging techniques, including helical CT. The advances in interventional radiology are discussed in the relevant chapters.



Chapter 1 provides an overview of each imaging modality with notes on basic physics, uses, advantages and disadvantages. The rest of the book is set out in a logical, surgically oriented sequence with an emphasis on abdominal conditions and trauma. Cost-benefit factors and the need to minimize risk to the patient are included in the evaluation of techniques as well as clinical efficacy. The book provides a good balance of general surgical and specialty topics.
