Dynamic Radiology of the Abdomen: Normal and Pathologic Anatomy

Extensively revised and updated, the third edition of Dynamic Radiology of the Abdomen remains the only text covering radiology of the abdomen as it relates to the progression of disease within organ and from one organ to another. New to this edition are discussions of: - recent advances in the understanding of the normal and variant relationship of the lobar anatomy of the liver - the structural relationship of the porta hepatis and its contents - further refinements in the precise evaluation of the extraperitoneal fascia and spaces - new developments in the understanding of the intraperitoneal spread of infection and malignancy. Many illustrations from the second edition have been replaced with improved images and line drawings. Highly selected images amply support the highly descriptive and thoroughly comprehensive text. Expanded references, citing both classic articles and recent contributions, are contained in the text. An index with cross-references provides immediate access to the material presented. Dynamic Radiology of the Abdomen, third edition, will continue to be the classic text for all radiologists and others seeking insight into the clinical practice of abdominal radiology. From the enthusiastic reviews of the Second Edition:"Enormously popular... One of the basic textbooks in radiology...Important for all physicians responsible for abdominal imaging." JAMA#1 "Frankly, there is no other book in the radiological world literature which can compare with this top-ranking eye-opener for any physician concerned with abdominal diagnosis...An invaluable source of inspiration and information."
