Billeddiagnostik

Diagnostiske fag er en tværfaglig grundbog, som giver en systematisk introduktion til de parakliniske og diagnostiske fag. Fagene har på trods af de vidt forskellige emner mange berøringsflader og både fælles metoder og problemstillinger, og kapitlerne er så vidt muligt opbygget på en ensartet måde. Vinklen er praktisk og anvendelsesorienteret, og teksten suppleres af en række klinisk relevante og illustrative cases.De senere års hastige teknologiske udvikling har gjort de parakliniske og diagnostiske discipliner til en vigtig og nødvendig forudsætning for det kliniske arbejde. Diagnostiske fag giver, med den samlede indføring i alle fagene, en faglig baggrund for målrettet diagnostisk strategi. Bogen, som er en videreførelse af Basisbog i diagnostiske fag, er primært tænkt som en lærebog for medicinstuderende. Bogen har fokus på den viden, som alle basislæger bør være i besiddelse af, men andre ansatte i sundhedsvæsenet kan også med fordel læse bogen for at opnå indsigt i de forskellige specialer.

UUNDVÆRLIGT OPSLAGSVÆRK OM BASAL RADIOLOGI Den første danske grundbog inden for radiologi, BASAL RADIOLOGI, forelægger her i en revideret og opdateret 2. udgave. I seks kapitler giver erfarne radiologer omfattende introduktioner til det radiologiske speciale. Bogen rummer ekstensive kapitler om thorax, bevægeapparatet, abdomen, urologi og neurologi, som hver især er opdelt i to. Kapitlernes første del beskriver den radiologiske anvendelighed ift. de mest almindeligt forekommende sygdomme og har fokus på diagnostiske og differentialdiagnostiske overvejelser. Anden del rummer talrige cases, som giver læseren mulighed for at teste sine færdigheder og træne evnen til at se på radiologiske billeder. BASAL RADIOLOGI indeholder over 1.000 skanningsbilleder, og den store mængde billedmateriale samt pile og faktabokse giver rig mulighed for at orientere sig i emnerne. Bogens introduktionskapitel er grundigt revideret og rummer bl.a. refleksioner over fremtidens avancerede radiologiske metoder, herunder kunstig intelligens og virtual reality. Bogen henvender sig til medicinstuderende, yngre læger, læger under uddannelse i det radiologiske speciale samt andre faggrupper, bl.a. radiografer.

This book offers a complete focus on the radiographic analysis of the abdominal wall and hernias. An estimated 20 million hernias are repaired annually throughout the world. As the technology utilized to complete hernia repairs becomes more complex, surgeons are required to have a more thorough understanding of the radiographic anatomy and diagnostic modalities used to evaluate hernias. Furthermore, the amount that now goes into the preoperative planning of hernias for complex repairs (such robotic and open transversus abdominis muscle release procedures) requires an understanding of radiology and the ability to identify nuances of anatomy offered by the imaging. The use of mesh and extent of re-do hernia repairs has also complicated radiographic evaluation of hernias. The text is a comprehensive review of abdominal wall imaging broken down into individual types of hernia. Each hernia type is discussed with consideration to the best type of imaging evaluation, unique radiographic findings and considerations prior to repair. Representative images, diagrams and videos are used to point out anatomy and features of the hernia. This text offers the first-of-its-kind standardized approach to evaluating hernias radiographically. Most importantly, each hernia and chapter is approached with the surgeon in mind, meaning, authors explain the radiology based on anatomy and with a plan for surgical repair on the horizon. Select chapters include illuminating videos to give context to the text. This is an ideal guide for practicing surgeons and trainees treating patients with hernias.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most informative and widely used imaging technologies for the clinical examination of soft tissues. It has been used to evaluate the structural integrity of nearly all tissues and is unparalleled in analyses of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Since its inception, MRI applications have undergone a broad evolution that has led to such well-established procedures as parallel imaging and functional MRI. Recent years have seen a new generation of applications, which has benefitted from a synergy of these established methods and a parallel evolution occurring in computational analyses. These recent MRI trends tend toward a growing emphasis on functional performance, greater reliance on extended computational analysis, and an expansion in the range of multimodal structural assessments. This book showcases these trends through in-depth analyses of select applications from this new generation of MRI methods. New Advances in Magnetic Resonance Imaging provides an insightful and detailed view into these upcoming developments that will be of interest to MRI professionals and scientists alike.

Neuroimaging has developed rapidly, such as ultrasound, CT scanning, MRI, functional MRI, 7T MRI, and digital subtraction angiography, providing high-resolution acquisition and better contrast, making it easier to detect lesions and structural changes in brain diseases. Targeted diseases in neuroimaging include tumors, vascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer¿s disease, Parkinson¿s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, severe depression, and schizophrenia. The ability of electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography to detect changes in brain function in other dementia suggests that they may also be promising biomarkers for early vascular cognitive impairment. In recent years, machine learning has achieved significant success in providing automated analysis for neuroimaging research, and its role may increase in the future. For clinical doctors, understanding these methods and mastering explanatory skills are crucial.

It will be a valuable reference for clinicians and radiologists to achieve accurate interpretation and reporting DXA studies with confidence via case exercises.

Written and edited by leading international authorities in the field, this book provides an in-depth review of knowledge of the incidental findings of the nervous system, with emphasis on asymptomatic brain and spinal lesions that have the potential to cause illness. It includes very informative chapters, organized into four main groups: first, incidental findings of the brain and cranium, including intracranial, intraventricular and skull base lesions, infarcts and calcification; secondly, incidental findings of the spine and spinal cord, including spinal cord tumors, syringomyelia, arteriovenous malformations and craniovertebral junction anomalies; thirdly, incidental findings of the spinal nerves and peripheral nerves, including tumors of the plexi and peripheral nerves; and fourthly, other lesions, including acquired incidental lesions of the brain and spine as well as the medicolegal and psychiatric aspects related to these lesions. The uniqueness of this compilation lies in the fact that several abnormalities exist in the nervous system that have the potential to cause life threatening illness; yet because they are asymptomatic and incidental, this leads to major management dilemmas related to whether or not to surgically the lesion. The proponents of an early surgical management subscribe to the philosophy that getting rid of an entity earlier on when it is asymptomatic, leads to an early cure and obviates any risk of it becoming aggressive and incurable later on; those opting for a ¿wait and watch¿ policy subscribe to the view that no intervention (as well as subjecting the patient to the risk of surgery) is mandated until the lesion becomes symptomatic. This may subject a person to a lifetime of anxiety related to how that lesion is going to evolve, when in all likelihood, the subject may remain asymptomatic throughout his/her life. The psychological aspects of the patient who is extremely disturbed by the presence of this incidental lesion; and, who cannot adjust to the reality that the treating doctor actually does not have a well-defined plan for it, are issues that are adequately addressed with clinical illustrations and examples. This comprehensive reference book will be an ideal source for neuroscientists at all levels, from graduate students to researchers in specific disciplines studying this region, including neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists and psychiatrists, who seek both basic and more advanced information regarding the incidental findings of the nervous system.
