Ultrasound of the Gastrointestinal Tract (Medical Radiology / Diagnostic Imaging) 2판

Explains the role of ultrasound in acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases, including rarer conditions
Covers the most recent developments and technical advances in gastrointestinal ultrasound
Includes numerous illustrations and valuable supplementary material
Written by distinguished experts in the field


This is the second, updated and extended edition of a well-received book that offers a comprehensive overview
of ultrasonographic imaging of acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases, including acute abdomen,
appendicitis, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel diseases, neoplasms and masses, infections, malabsorption
syndromes, and rare conditions. The value of ultrasound in each disorder is clearly explained and
illustrated, and limitations identified. Information is also provided on recent technical developments and
ultrasound applications that are likely to become of increasing importance, such as functional and 3D
ultrasound, contrast agents and intraoperative ultrasound, elastography, and transperineal ultrasound. The
authors are all distinguished experts in the topics they address. Ultrasound of the Gastrointestinal Tract
will be a helpful guide in daily practice not only for radiologists but also for gastroenterologists,
abdominal surgeons, pediatricians, and oncologists.
