Malattia coronarica : Fisiopatologia e diagnostica non invasiva con TC = Coronary heart disease: Pathophysiology and non-invasive diagnostics with CT
The work stems from the desire to provide the cardiologist or non-imaging physician with the basis for understanding technical principles and methods of acquiring and reconstructing images. At the same time, even the radiologist who does not have specific experience in cardiac imaging will be able to acquire basic knowledge of coronary anatomy and pathophysiology.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Orthopedic Sports Medicine
Though magnetic resonance imaging has helped revolutionize the field of orthopedic medicine, a difference in perspective persists between radiology and orthopedic specialists. Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Orthopedic Sports Medicine is an interdisciplinary resource designed to bridge this gap.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Ischemic Stroke
The imaging of stroke has undergone significant changes owing to the rapid progress in imaging technology. This volume, comprising three parts, is designed to provide a comprehensive summary of the current role of MR imaging in patients with ischemic stroke. The first part outlines the clinical presentations of stroke and discusses the diagnostic efficacy and therapeutic impact of MR imaging. The second and third parts form the core of the volume, and are based on a novel approach in that the topic is presented from two very different viewpoints. Part 2 provides a detailed presentation of the distinguishing features of stroke from the radiologist's perspective. By contrast, part 3 addresses the needs of the clinician, documenting specific stroke syndromes and their correlates on MR imaging. The overall aim has been to create a well-illustrated volume with broad appeal that links pathology, radiology and stroke medicine in an informative manner.
Magnetic resonance angiography : techniques, indications and practical applications
The advent of contrast-enhanced MRA in the early to mid 1990s revolutionized the clinical approach to vascular imaging: an accurate non-invasive imaging modality, not requiring ionizing radiation or potentially nephrotoxic iodinated contrast media, was able to compete with the more hazardous and invasive catheter angiography. Today, MRA is a safe, easy-to-perform procedure routinely used in most imaging centers, and the continued development of faster, more powerful magnets and more effective contrast agents is increasingly helping to overcome many of the early limitations of the technique.
Lung Pathology
Learning the diagnostic elements of lung pathology requires not only great familiarity with a wide diversity of cases, but also a sharp eye for analyzing pictorial images. In Lung Pathology: A Consultative Atlas, leading experts offer a novel and substantive approach to the teaching of pulmonary pathology. Drawing on 263 challenging, yet exemplary, referral cases taken from files collected over 20 years by internationally renowned lung pathologist, Dr. Eugene Mark, the authors introduce his state-of-the-art approach to the interpretation of pulmonary pathology. This text includes the primary and/or differential diagnosis and the pertinent histological features of each case, as well as clinical history, when available. Key words or phrases in the text are highlighted and digitally hyperlinked to associated images or regions of interest within those images to assist the readers in their correlation. Novel and user friendly, Lung Pathology: A Consultative Atlas describes a cutting-edge diagnostic approach to pulmonary pathology, describing its principles and demonstrating its application in text and full-color illustrations drawn from 263 difficult cases of human lung pathologies.
Liver MRI : Correlation with other Imaging Modalities and Histopathology
In this seminal manuscript the - thor described a new imaging technique which moved the single dimension of NMR spectroscopy to the dual dimension of spatial orientation, thereby resulting in the foundation of modern magnetic re- nance (MR) imaging. Over the ensuing years, MR imaging has assumed an increasingly important role in clinical imaging. It distinguishes itself from other imaging modalities, such as ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT), by the unique ability to visualize specific tissue components in a non-- vasive manner. In the earlier days, diagnostic MR imaging was limited to cerebral and musculoskeletal diseases. - aging of other areas which are more prone to movement through breathing (abdominal) or pulsation motions (cardiac) became available more recently, with the introduction of faster sequences and the - velopment of more dedicated MR imaging coils.
Liver and Pancreatic Diseases Management
New therapeutical approaches, advances in oncology and in diagnostic imaging, which reduce the need for invasive techniques and reach an improvement in survival and quality of life in cancer, are considered in this book. Modern literature has been reviewed with special reference to articles of general interest. In the clinical management of patients with liver, bile duct and pancreas diseases, it is important to assess the degree of disturbance and to diagnose the causative insult, and therefore clinical and laboratory methods of assessing each of these pathologies are of high interest. This version is an up-to-date account of diseases of the liver, biliary tract and pancreas, including transplantation, which we trust will be of value for surgeons, physicians and pathologists and also a reference book for medical students.
Les souffrances psychologiques des malades du cancer : Comment les reconnaître, comment les traiter? = The psychological suffering of cancer patients : How to recognize them, how to treat them?
This book thus proposes, reconnecting with the most clinical and frankly psychodynamic vein, to bear witness to the encounter with the reality of cancerous disease and with all the imagination that it arouses. It is also a tribute to the sick - but just as much to their loved ones and their caregivers - who then engage in these territories of the crash, the unpredictable, where everything leads to think and do.
Les infections intra-abdominales aiguës = Acute intra-abdominal infections
Paradoxically, serious intra-abdominal infections are the forgotten ones in the world of infectious diseases. Paradoxical, because they are very common pathologies, affecting all age groups of the population and often life-threatening; paradoxical, because they concern many medical specialties through intensive care, gastroenterology, hepatology, imaging, infectious diseases, emergencies and surgery. Hence the need, thanks to an interdisciplinary collaboration, to publish a book in French bringing together all infectious abdominal pathologies, thus offering a synthesis of recent data from the literature in this field. This document should allow the various specialties concerned to find updates integrating the latest clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic data. Specialty interns and practitioners in the field will find something to establish an effective and up-to-date strategy for the management of patients with these pathologies, the high incidence of which and the severity of which is too often overlooked, it is important to remember.
Les cancers digestifs = Digestive cancers
Digestive tumors are among the most common malignant tumors and represent a major public health problem. This is one of the areas that has evolved the most in recent years in oncology due to significant progress in diagnostic strategies and therapeutic management. It seems essential that this progress be implemented in the daily practice of physicians treating these tumors. This book, the result of multidisciplinary work, provides a practical and up-to-date approach to the management of malignant digestive tumors. The first chapters are devoted to general and original subjects such as epidemiology, genetics, the management of elderly subjects. A second part approaches in a pragmatic and practical way the principles of diagnostic and therapeutic management by localization. A third part, devoted to the practical realization of chemotherapy, takes stock of new therapeutic approaches, oral or locoregional chemotherapy. Finally, the last part of the book is dedicated to digestive cancer emergencies and the palliative management of these tumors.

Intended to provide medical students, residents of Radiology, and anybody else beginning to be involved in the radiological world, with a useful tool that gives them a quick and comprehensive overview of Radiology.
Le Distilbène trente ans après : Les enfants des 2èmes et 3èmes générations = Distilbene thirty years later : The children of the 2nd and 3rd generations
The various consequences on the anatomy and physiology of the female genitalia, as well as male, of children exposed in utero are reviewed. The impact on girls is greater than on boys: modification of the uterine cervix, reduction in the volume of the uterus with its consequences on fertility and the progress of pregnancies, risk of cancer of the vagina and the cervix. . The potential repercussions on the third generation are analyzed from experimental studies. Finally, the medico-legal implication is studied from the various trials that took place in the United States and from the first French trial that took place in Nanterre in November 2003. This work is the result of the collaboration of several experts recognized for their competence in this field. It will be of interest to all obstetrician gynecologists, urologists, but also public health physicians and midwives.
Le dépistage du cancer du sein : un enjeu de santé publique = Breast cancer screening: a public health issue
Fifteen years after the first experiments, the breast cancer screening program was rolled out in France in 2004. It is aimed at more than eight million women aged 50 to 74. Public health action on such a scale is exemplary in Europe and especially in France where the health system is not centralized. The new edition of this book takes stock of the current state of the program and its initial results. It updates technical and radiological aspects, assessment indicators, communication and forensic problems and finally the progress of foreign programs. The history of the French program is detailed from the 1990s until 2006, with the publication of the latest version of the specifications by the Directorate General of Health. The short and medium term objectives are re-specified: to increase the participation of women, to retain them and to further improve the quality of practices. The challenge is to combine the performance of screening and therapeutic management to finally achieve a clear reduction in mortality, which has remained stable for twenty years.
Le cancer du sein = Breast cancer
The reader will find there both a synthetic summary of the current state of knowledge of epidemiology, risk factors and pathological aspects as well as a presentation of the surgical aspects, in particular, of the new approach that constitutes the sentinel node procedure. Radiotherapy, in a practical view, is divided into essential clinical questions. The medical treatment is then discussed according to the different situations encountered on a daily basis. Particular attention is of course paid to recent data both with the contribution of hormone therapy and targeted therapies. Finally, the symptomatic treatments and especially the psychological care of these patients are not forgotten.
