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.

Mediante la ecografía podemos diagnosticar toda una pléyade de patologías que afectan a la gestante, simplemente utilizando los ultrasonidos como método de estudio. Los obstetras no siempre trabajamos en un medio ideal, ni tenemos a mano alguien con quién evacuar una consulta y desarrollamos nuestra labor es sitios muy dispares, muchas veces con recursos muy limitados y, sin otra posibilidad de diagnóstico que no sea un simple ecógrafo. Sé muy bien, lo que es la soledad, la noche y la distancia de un sitio apartado y sentirse como decía el cuento: sólo, como gaucho en el campo, en la noche y con una caja de fósforos vacía. La obra está estructurada siguiendo un patrón clásico de enfoque clínico por aparatos, utilizando la ecografía como medio para la valoración y seguimiento clínico de la mujer embarazada y su patología y, que normalmente nunca encontramos en ningún libro de obstetricia.Manuel Sánchez Seiz

El libro, va especialmente dirigido a Técnicos de Radiodiagnóstico y a estudiantes del Ciclo Superior de Imagen para el Diagnóstico y Medicina Nuclear, pero puede resultar de interés a Médicos Internos Residentes y, por qué no, a otros profesionales sanitarios. Es el resultado de aunar "algunos años de estudio", la experiencia en una sala de Resonancia Magnética y la docencia a alumnos del Ciclo Superior de Imagen Diagnóstica a lo largo de los últimos diez años. Su pretensión es acercar, de una manera sencilla, los principios fundamentales en los que se basa esta técnica de imagen tanto a quienes poseen, ya, algún conocimiento en esta materia como a los no iniciados.

Una aproximación al fenómeno físico de la Resonancia Magnética Nuclear y a sus aplicaciones diagnósticas a través de 650 definiciones y 150 ilustraciones y fotografías.Aunque dirigido fundamentalmente a Estudiantes, Técnicos en Imagen Diagnóstica y Médicos Internos Residentes puede servir también de ayuda a cualquier profesional sanitario que desee conocer los principios fundamentales de esta puntera modalidad del diagnóstico médico.

A lo largo de las dos últimas décadas la tecnología TC ha experimentado un enorme desarrollo. A la extendida utilización de los Tomógrafos Multidetectores hay que unir la aparición de Tomógrafos que utilizan otras fuentes de energía (PET, SPECT) y la posibilidad que ofrecen de trabajar conjuntamente con TC de rayos X.Todo ello ha supuesto la aparición de una terminología específica y no siempre clara a la que han contribuido, en gran manera, las propias empresas fabricantes de los equipos.El objetivo de este "diccionario tomográfico", que incluye 450 términos, es ayudar a clarificar muchos de estos conceptos y hacerlo, en la medida de lo posible, de una manera comprensiva.Teniendo en cuenta que el trabajo con radiaciones ionizantes comporta un riesgo para la salud de usuarios y trabajadores, se han incluido algunos términos básicos de Protección Radiológica tal y como figuran en la legislación española.Muchos de los términos que se definen figuran en castellano e inglés.

Con la ayuda de más de 650 entradas, he tratado de condensar todos aquellos conceptos básicos que tienen que ver con la Física de partículas y fotones, la Radiobiología y la Protección Radiológica y que están presentes en el día a día de los Servicios de Imagen Diagnóstica, Medicina Nuclear y Radioterapia. Debido a ello he hecho referencia a los componentes más importantes de los equipos utilizados en las referidas modalidades diagnósticas, así como a términos y conceptos de Resonancia Magnética Nuclear. No olvidemos que el trabajo con campos magnéticos estáticos, campos magnéticos variables y emisiones de radiofrecuencia entrañan un riesgo potencial que, en todo momento, hay que intentar prevenir.Por último, debido a la importancia que la tecnología nuclear ha alcanzado en las últimas décadas y a que potencialmente representa el mayor de los riesgos biológicos para los seres vivos y el medio ambiente, aparecen algunos términos que guardan relación con ella.
