Imaging nelle urgenze vascolari - Body : Casi clinici = Imaging in vascular emergencies - Body : Clinical cases
Vascular urgency is true urgency. Given the variability of clinical presentations, the radiologist is increasingly called into question for diagnostic-differential problems and he is entrusted with the nosological framework and the therapeutic choices of doubtful cases. The purpose of the book is to provide, through the presentation of a large number of cases, an easy, fast and stimulating means through which the reader can confront.
Ileo meccanico dell’intestino tenue : Aspetti TC e correlazioni eco-radiografiche = Mechanical ileus of the small intestine : CT aspects and echo-radiographic correlations
Mechanical occlusion of the small intestine is a frequently encountered clinical problem, whose clinical-instrumental management is made difficult by the complexity of the mechanisms responsible for the occlusive picture. The role of the radiologist is to promptly guide the therapeutic process on the basis of a correct interpretation of the iconographic pictures. The purpose of this volume - the only one of its kind - is to relate the pathophysiology of occlusion to imaging. The rich iconography, which ranges from clinical onset to resolution, emphasizes the role of multidetector computed tomography with intravenous contrast, which is the current gold standard. However, the correlations with the echo-radiographic methods are not forgotten, which retain an effective diagnostic role, with a low biological and economic cost. The mechanical ileus of the small intestine is a striking example in support of the dream of many professionals: that, that is, to have a figure of a fine abdominal emergency radiologist, an expert in organ and disease and not only in the machine, as often unfortunately it happens.
