Cross-sectional imaging is now widely available and routinely used as
part of decision-making process in surgical patients. Advances in
techniques, the availability and combination of different imaging
modalities have made rapid and accurate diagnoses possible. This book
provides basic information on these imaging findings in the main
surgical pathologies.
The first part describes the principles of
imaging and different imaging techniques available. Giving pros and cons
of each technique, it provides useful information and guidance on the
appropriate choice of imaging. Symptom-based, rather than organ-based,
the second part provides a practical approach to imaging patients with
common surgical complaints in order to aid understanding and encourage a
problem-solving approach to selecting different imaging modalities.
Providing
a simple diagnostic framework for common surgical situations, this
useful guide will be invaluable for surgical residents, trainees,
medical students, and consultant surgeons.
